We’re the Only Ones Penetrating Enough

Sergeant Weaver has also been charged with Sexual Assault, and former Officer Krasley has been charged with Kidnapping, Involuntary Sexual Intercourse and Intimidation of a Witness… [More]

I see “Allentown Police Department limited who can comment on this post.” I wanted to ask them how someone could go for years and rise to the rank of sergeant and this is the first inkling anybody had that something might be off with him.

I got dragooned as an alternate for jury duty years ago, a pimping and pandering case that trotted out scumbag vice cops, irredeemable whores, and twitchy-eyed johns, and couldn’t decide who was more contemptible and pathetic, including the defendant, whom I see has gotten into more trouble since, and her defense attorney, who played the strong woman card until she decided it was time for the tactical decisions to play the tears of victimhood for jury sympathy card.

How bad for them am I supposed to feel?

If They Can Do It to Him…

A New Jersey attorney who was denied a gun permit is suing Springfield Township and its police department in federal district court, alleging they violated his right to bear arms because of pro-Palestinian social media posts…. In records that Saadeh obtained through the state Open Public Records Act, police wrote that granting the permit renewal “would not be in the interest of the public health, safety or welfare because the person is found to be lacking the essential character of temperament necessary to be entrusted with a firearm.” [More]

Don’t stop there. Sue them for libel.

And no, I’ve changed no positions. I’m only going on facts presented and extrapolating from there while channeling my inner Thomas More.

Rules for Thee…

As of this guide’s initial publish date, 80% lower receivers and frames are not considered as firearms by the ATF however they are not legal to ship directly to buyers residing in the District of Columbia. [More]

Not because ATF didn’t try, but it’s probably OK because my bet is they didn’t buy it.

I’m scrolling through this as we speak. Look it over yourself and tell me if my old eyes are missing anything.

24-309 GRAY, GABRIEL, ET AL. V. JENNINGS, ATT’Y GEN. DE, ET AL.

24-373 MARYLAND SHALL ISSUE, ET AL. V. MOORE, GOV. OF MD, ET AL.

Still looking for Snope and Ocean State Tactical…did I misunderstand they would be considered in conference? Guess I’ll have to wait for lawyers to explain what’s happening.

UPDATE

[T]he most important Second Amendment cases of Snope, the AR-15 ban case out of Maryland, and Ocean State Tactical the magazine Ban case out of Rhode Island, are both alive and well before the Supreme Court… [Watch]

So again, we wait.

We’re the Only Ones Diagnostic Enough

When gun owners apply for concealed carry permits in Mecklenburg County, sheriff’s office background checks have sometimes turned up sensitive health information, including whether a person has had an abortion or has a sexually transmitted disease… The sheriff’s office, through a spokesperson, said the agency has no control over what information health providers choose to send. In a statement, MCSO said the records sent are dependent on the provider’s discretion. [More]

They can’t specify the information they want? And the providers don’t have policies and procedures in place approved by their risk managment departments to only provide what is required by law?

And why the hell is this required by law anyway?

The Dog Ate My Homework

First, she said, she managed to drop her phone into a filled bathtub. When she pulled the phone out of the water and found it was not working, Choi went to her laptop in order to make a video call. When the call ended, Choi then knocked over a bottle of water—whoops!—directly onto the computer, which was also taken out of commission. So, when the day came to hand in her devices, neither was working. [More]

So much for #BelieveWomen…

I’m Just a Little Black Raincloud

I hate to be Eeyore, but with all the hyperbole and excitement I’m seeing about national Constitutional Carry reciprocity, it doesn’t seem out of line to ask the gushers and the click baiters to provide a realistic estimate of whose votes we can count on, and which “Republicans” will join with the slim Democrat minority to keep the bill from getting to the president’s desk.

No one would like my caution to be proven unfounded more than me. The last thing I want to see with such great expectations is the wind taken out of everyone’s sails.

Anyone care to help me jump on the bandwagon?

The Felon in Chief?

Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to “unconditional discharge,” meaning no jail, no probation and no fine. But the sentence will still formally make Trump the first criminal convict ever to occupy the Oval Office. [More]

We’ll see what happens with an appeal.

In the meantime, is a “prohibited person” in charge of ATF?

It’s Showtime!

The U.S. Supreme Court has distributed a third Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) case, B&L Productions v. Newsom, for conference on Friday, Jan. 24. The case challenges California’s statutes which ban gun shows on state-owned property. Because the gun shows at issue are not only opportunities to view and purchase firearms, but also for like-minded individuals to assemble and share ideas, the case presents questions about both the First and Second Amendments. [More]

Having followed this issue for many years, I say apathetic gun show attendees own their share of the mess they’ve allowed. They’re no doubt part of the majority that don’t contribute to efforts like this to clean up that mess.

Judge John L. Sinatra Jr. Has Yuge ‘But’

Based on the record and arguments in this case. the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the Second Amendment would require this Court—as counseled by the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment decisions—to declare the parks issue in Plaintiffs’ favor.’ But… [More]

A small concession aside, the “but” is all you need to know.

That and he’s one of those Trump judges we’ve been led to believe would turn things around.
