BREAKING: Boland v. Bonta Vacated [More]
After you get through all the legal back and forth, it sounds like the handgun roster can just got kicked down the road and everything depends on what happens to something else.
Am I wrong?

No jail time for former East Cleveland police chief guilty of felony charge [More]
Hey, it’s not like they wouldn’t offer you and me the same deal if we faced 24 charges of “financial crimes including collecting and failing to remit sales tax, passing bad checks, theft in office, and money laundering.”
Right?

Lest Ye Be Judged
Just what we need for the already subversive Seventh Circuit…
How this not an admission of malpractice meriting — hell, demanding — a bar complaint?
First Hurdle Cleared
House Bill 24-1292, otherwise known as the “Assault Weapons Ban” passed the House Judiciary Committee on a vote of 7-3 early this morning, March 20th at 12:18 am. It will now go to the floor of the House for debate among the entire chamber. The battle against this horrible bill is far from over. [More]
And then the rest of the process to enactment, and then the lawsuits, and then the appeals, and…
When is SCOTUS going to put a stop to this nonsense?
Or will Republicans blow it and Democrats put a stop to SCOTUS?

Chicago Announces First-of-Its-Kind Lawsuit Seeking to Hold Glock Accountable for Manufacturing and Selling Pistols That Can Easily Be Turned into Machine Guns Using ‘Glock Switches’ [More]
They’re never gonna stop, are they?
But the city wants “machineguns” for its “Only Ones”? So is Glock going to continue selling them guns?

We’re the Only Ones Goony Enough
Hunter Elward, 31, was sentenced to about 20 years in prison, while Jeffrey Middleton, the leader of the so-called “Goon Squad” that abused the men, was given a 17.5-year prison sentence. Four other former law enforcement officers who admitted to torturing Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker are set to be sentenced later this week. [More]
So, then… just “a few bad apples“…?

News in Brief
GOA Petition to SCOTUS for Writ of Certiorari Against Illinois Categorical Ban on AR-15s… Friends of The Captain’s Journal Stephen Stamboulieh and Oliver Krawczyk wrote this brief, along with Rob Olson. A better constructed and more direct and honest one you will never find. [More]
This covers some essential points that can’t be raised enough. I intend to write an article soon explaining why.
Not Over by a Long Shot
The city of Gary, Indiana’s long-running lawsuit against major firearm manufacturers has been shot down by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, just a few days after the legislature gave its final stamp of approval to a bill that prohibits any cities or other political subdivisions from suing a firearm or ammunition manufacturer, trade association, seller, or dealer over the design, manufacture, importing or exporting, distribution, advertising, marketing, sale; or criminal, unlawful, or unintentional use of their products.

BRIEF OF AMICUS CURIAE NATIONAL POLICE ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONERS [More]
I see they cited Silveira v. Lockyer, an effort I was proud to have a central hand in promoting despite being undermined by the “Second Amendment establishment.”

The Tip of the Iceberg
But Bellows, who was elected in 2022, cited a 2008 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that there is a “strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised individually and belongs to all Americans.”… Bellows also ruled the prosecutors did not present evidence of a historical tradition of disarming felons after the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791.

Democrat AG Ellison Continues War on Legal Gun Sales with Complaint Against Fleet Farm
And his excuse for going after Fleet Farm is that its retail employees can’t do the impossible and read the hearts and minds of customers, and that it is therefore responsible for not just their criminal actions, but for the subsequent actions of those they deal with. [More]
A commie gun-grabber commits lawfare against a deep pockets victim because he can. Just like the Founders intended, right?
Warning Shot
A Clark County man was entitled to argue self-defense when he intentionally shot toward a person, and was not required to show he intended to kill or harm the man who threatened him, the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled today. [More]
While I don’t recommend warning shots, there’s no one-size-fits-all, it worked, and no one was hurt or killed. If history, text, and tradition are the new standards, there’s gotta be a place for “shot across the bow.”
Inducing someone you don’t know to “back off” seems a perfectly legitimate reason for self defense, especially considering what could have happened.
It’s interesting that the three judges against the self-defense claim were Republicans, with three Democrats and one Republican ruling in the citizen’s favor.
