New York State of Mind

The State of New York is Still Fighting the Bruen Decision [More]

Herschel brings us up to date on Antonyuk v Satan’s Minions, including New York’s insulting brief and Stephen Stamboulieh’s authoritative response.

I have to find out what SCOTUS’s options are for slapping inferiors defying hierarchical precedent down.

Hatchet Job

The Supreme Court May Kick Off 2023 With a Huge Gun Rights Ruling – Without oral argument or full briefing, the case could take a hatchet to New York’s new concealed carry law—and countless more nationwide. [More]

So why does Mark Joseph Stern have his panties in a wad?

Oh…

Some Good News and Some Bad News

HPD Approves First Concealed Carry Permit for Unknown Applicant- But local guns right advocates told KITV4 that they do not know who that permit is going to, and why only one was announced to have been approved. Hawaii Firearms Coalition representative Andrew Namiki Roberts was 2nd to file, and told KITV4 the first person who filled out an application has not received any notification yet; Neither has he. [More]

So how do we respect the person’s privacy and also find out if s/he’s a connected anti-gun Democrat or a big campaign contributor?

And when does George Young get his?

Just Like the Founders Intended

A federal appeals court on Monday allowed New York to restrict the carrying of firearms on private property under a new law adopted in wake of a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded gun rights. [More]

Here ’tis.

Sack is a Clintonista and Wesley was appointed by Dubya, but Bianco was a Trump nominee.

We haven’t heard the last of this, but the first of it is ludicrous, offensive and intolerable.

Stay Tuned

Accordingly, upon due consideration, it is hereby ORDERED that the motion for a stay pending appeal is GRANTED and … Appellees’ motion to expedite the resolution of the matter is GRANTED. [More]

So the infringements will continue but we’ll hurry up about making a decision?

Here’s the original Antonyuk v. Hochul complaint for those unfamiliar with the case. Just to give you an idea of how full of sh… uh… beans the other side is, check out this bit of lying, hoplophobic hysteria from Brady president Kris Brown:

New Yorkers, like all Americans, do not want their supermarkets, public squares, and child care centers turned into bullet-riddled crime scenes.

Where haven’t lawful concealed carriers done that?

Illegal Collusion and Restraint of Trade by Any Other Name

Elon Musk Confirms Apple Is Threatening Twitter’s Presence In Its App Store – “Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why” [More]

We know why.

Maybe Elon should ask woke Tim Cook if he gave any consideration to minorities being able to get concealed carry permits with the same level of attention he was able to get by bribing a corrupt sheriff to sign off for his private security detail.

That ain’t the half of the corruption and I may just revisit this in an article…

Because Everyone Knows Correlation Equals Causation!

Maybanks and Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness agreed that the increases in gun charges are attributed to gun law changes — such as that carry permits are no longer required in Iowa. Maybanks acknowledged that individuals have a constitutional right to carry a firearm, but if they have been convicted of a felony or use the gun illegally, they have no such right. [More]

So leaving aside the obvious for a moment, how does permitless carry change any of that?

Oh, it doesn’t?

Then why would Janet say that?

Great job there just parroting and not questioning that, “authorized journalist” Trish Mehaffey!

Gentlemen’s Agreement

Before she knew it, the gentleman in the black shirt, black backwards hat (as seen in the video), basically football tackles my mom and my mom just remembers flying and that’s it,” Nicole said. [More]

Why, when telling reporters about violent and cowardly sociopathic scumbags, do so many people call them gentlemen?

As to why the victims were defenseless, well, maybe they backed the wrong “Only One.”

What I’m actually most curious about: Did old groomer “Sir Elton” trot out more cub scout strippers?

Who’s Responsible?

‘Publix denies any liability’ for grandmother, toddler’s murders in Florida grocery store [More]

Ordinarily, I’d agree unless deliberate indifference to known dangers could be demonstrated. We are generally responsible for our own defense. Still, statements against customers being armed don’t help discourage predators, although, in Florida, open carry outside of specifically defined limited circumstances still isn’t an option.

As for companies that disallow any kind of carry, I’d like to see more gun owners hand the manager this card and spread the word about his refusal to sign it:

We’re the Only Ones Tasteful Enough

A Homeland Security agent and his friend were accidentally shot at a wine tasting in Florida when his gun fell to the ground, according to police. [More]

I need to up my training. Not being a professional, my wife and I have been going to a wine-tasting fundraiser for a group we support for many years now, and I haven’t even come close to shooting myself, let alone her along with me.

One question though: Is that what I think it is?

Anybody know if off-duty “Only Ones” are exempt?

[Via Remarks]

We’re the Only Ones Dated Enough

A central issue in Sheriff Smith’s trial is whether she provided concealed carry weapon permits in exchange for donations or other favors. Under questioning from San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Gabriel Markoff, Bechtel said he provided $750,000 to the Sheriff’s Advisory Board and arranged construction crews to make improvements to the Sheriff’s Department shooting range… Bechtel said he, his son, and two other relatives acquired concealed carry permits that were signed by Sheriff Smith. [More]

At least we know from Harpreet Chada that Laurie’s Big Club wasn’t exclusively “white privileged,” but I’d still like to see someone look into other “underrepresentation.”

In answer to an anticipated question, this was a civil trial and one of her defenders says regardless, these are not felonies. And here I was looking forward to Laurie becoming a “prohibited person” if they end up bringing criminal, charges.

The Enemy Within

Caught On Tape! Florida’s 2A Committee Chair Against Constitutional Carry w/GOA’s Luis Valdez [Watch]

And on top of that, he’s got an insufferable “Only Ones” mentality.

With the latest DeSantis disconnect it seems like Florida Republicans are going out of their way to alienate gun owners.

And not just Florida Republicans…

Firearms News has the whole story direct from GOA.

Advice to the Brainlorn

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I can’t believe I have to write this. When my daughter, who lives in a large city that had a recent mass shooting event, hosted a party at her home, one of the guests, who had recently obtained a concealed carry permit, brought his loaded gun. [More]

If it was concealed, how did she know?

I remember when Dear Abby gave some pretty good advice on this.

Now listen up, Buster, and listen up good.
