Notes from the Resistance
Pennsylvania and Virginia Sign Mutual Concealed Carry Reciprocity Agreement [More]
I get what the “legal” advantages are from “permits,” but I can’t help conjuring up the image of a slave bragging “Look what fine chains my master gave me to wear!”
Sorry, not sorry to all the apologists painting this as a “huge win!!!”

I would appreciate your help resolving this situation promptly on a statewide basis without the need for litigation. [More]
Yeah, well, what you’d appreciate and what connected Democrat power player Sheriff Sean Kilkenny will do could be two very different things.
Say he says “No,” and then ties things up in court for years and at the end of the trail the Supreme Court pulls another Snope. Why shouldn’t he take his chances and tell her to go for it? Especially since it’s not his money, the Democrats could very well be back in the national saddle by then, and he could emerge as the scrappy warrior who took on the feds and beat ’em…
Let’s contact General Miyares and politely let him know that you are greatly disappointed in him for not signing on to the national concealed carry reciprocity letter that twenty-four other attorneys general sent to Congress. [More]
Either that or you could do it very publicly, and in no uncertain terms let him know he needs you more than you need him.
Bottom line, armed citizens are out there. A lot of them. Law enforcement needs to understand this and be prepared to handle encounters respectfully and professionally. [More]
It’s bad enough when we’re behaving legally and they’re not. Add in jokes and threats about killing us, and that’s intolerable.

And they know a thing or two about reciprocal pushing!

Stephen Stamboulieh brings us some good news about Pam Bondi and DOJ doing something necessary and good by filing a brief in support of the Second Amendment, noting Hawaii trying to ban guns on private property without specific owner permnission effectively equates to a gun ban practically everywhere. This is a hopeful sign and we need to see more like this.
The challenge is another example of great legal navigation and piloting by Alan Beck.
As an aside, this is how “guntubing” ought to be, a subject matter authority articuately sharing knowledge and guidance, as opposed to mansplaining the work of others for clicks.
And pay attention to this, @ 7:15 in:
The Ninth Circuit needs to be broken up as a court. It’s too big, it’s way too powerful, and it does some really stupid things that we’re going to talk about in my 7 o’clock live tonight where I just lost $400,000 in that case.
That’s something we’ve talked about before.
When shots rang out at the Galleria Mall in Birmingham, Alabama, two things happened at pretty much the same time. Two police officers went toward the sound of gunfire, and one Good Samaritan drew his legally carried handgun and went toward the sound of gunfire to help. That was the last thing the Good Samaritan, EJ Bradford, did. [More]
As former CGO (Chief Chicago Oinker) Garry McCarthy threatened:
“I don’t care if they’re licensed legal firearms. I’ll train our officers that there is a concealed carry law, but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that. I’m telling you right up front.”

Survivors of the 2022 Brooklyn subway shooting are suing Glock—not because the gun malfunctioned, or was illegally obtained—but because it’s marketed as “compact and concealable.” That’s like suing Ferrari because their cars go too fast. [More]
This one’s too small. This one’s too big. None will be “just right.”
F-word these “survivors,” and the shysters and totalitarians behind them.

Missouri House approves bill allowing guns on public transit [More]
With 24 Republicans in the Senate and 10 Democrats, and a governor endorsed by Donald Trump, the only way this won’t become law is if there are betrayals…

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

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.
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…

Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Caught in Extensive Misuse of Criminal Database for Concealed Carry Checks [More]
That’s one way to get dates...
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…
