California Dreamin’

In a disappointing turn for California gun owners, Assembly Bill 1092 – a proposed reform that would have extended the lifespan of concealed carry permits (CCWs) from two to four years – failed to pass through the Assembly Public Safety Committee. [More]

Seven Democrats and two Republicans, with one of them a Vichycon squish on guns… what did they think was going to happen? Pass pro-gun bills in California: Good one.

And they’re not even close to talking about the actual right.

How did the place turn blue?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Holding Pattern

U.S. Department of Justice Announces Second Amendment Pattern-or-Practice Investigation into California’s Los Angeles County [More]

Good, but why California and not Illinois?

I’ll be using this as a springboard to help introduce yet another effort to get their attention on denial of rights in an article I’ll be finishing up this weekend.

Third Time’s a Charm?

GOA and GOF have officially submitted our petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court in Antonyuk v. James! This case began as a direct challenge to New York’s unconstitutional attempt to ban concealed carry by declaring nearly every location a “sensitive place.” But now, it’s become a battle over lower courts defying SCOTUS rulings. [Watch]

Note the first name on the petition…

Permit Me?

Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and Gun Owners of California (GOC) joined forces with the California Rifle & Pistol Association and the Second Amendment Foundation to achieve a significant victory. Together, they secured an order implementing a preliminary injunction in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, compelling the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the La Verne Police Department, and state of California to allow their non-resident members to apply for concealed carry permits. [More]

I could have applied before. Will this require them to grant one?

Then again, I got by from 1981 through to 2007 (when we moved) without one, which I admit made things more dangerous since I didn’t dare file a police report…

We’re the Only Ones Delayed Responding Enough

The 27-year-old Massachusetts man was arrested Tuesday after Capitol police officers found him leaving the Library of Congress and walking toward his car, police said in a news release. Officers found a handgun concealed in his waistband, police said. [More]

That’s after they let him in following electronic and hand screening, and saw he conducted himself peaceably. Still, there’s a reason we call them the “Only Ones.”

And “No harm no foul” doesn’t apply when you’ve got face to save.

We’re the Only Ones Paid to Play Enough

Former Virginia sheriff convicted of bribery in badges-for-dollars scheme – Scott Jenkins of Culpeper County was found guilty of selling deputy credentials to men who wanted to avoid traffic tickets and carry concealed guns without permits. [More]

Who does this guy think he is, Laurie Smith?

Or Lee Baca…?

A Good First Step

“Licenses”…?

Massie has a better idea.

But Trump hates him.

Expect court challenges and being drawn out and unresolved for years.

Better Safe Than Sorry

The Illinois Attorney General’s office has apologized to a federal judge demanding answers after implying his ruling against the state’s mass transit concealed carry ban has “safety implications.” [More]

And that is the difference between a Trump-appointed judge and what Kamala will put on the bench.

True, his won’t all be perfectly consistent. But you can bet hers will be.

If Wishes Were Fishes

Yeah, but…

Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted

Let Republican win in November and we’ll see where it goes. And Massie knows better than anyone how that works.
