MA Gun License Challenged

The Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association have filed an amicus brief with the Massachusetts Supreme Court in support of a New Hampshire man who is challenging the Massachusetts permit law. [More]

Hey, waddyaknow? NRA shared credit!

When did they start doing that?

Inconvenient Truths

Martin Luther King Jr. was denied a concealed-carry gun permit in 1956. [More]

True enough. But, even if we don’t want to hear it, he ultimately rejected guns for himself. Then again, if we’re to accept narratives from others as being accurate representations of the content of his character, what do we say about secret FBI tapes ostensibly recording him “watching and laughing as a pastor raped a woman” ?

Care to take a crack at that, Snopes?

An Age-Old Question

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania’s prohibition against allowing young adults aged 18 to 20 from acquiring a license to carry a firearm (LTCF) for personal protection. The case is known as Brown v. Paris. [More]

If nothing else, it’s a mockery of U.S. Code:

The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age…

Drilling down further, anyone see anything in here about a license? Yeah, I know, increments. Just sayin’…

The Wrong Question

The state’s license-to-carry statute violates the Second Amendment by not providing objective standards for local police chiefs to exercise their authority to deny a gun owner’s application for a permit based on a finding of “dangerousness,” a Holyoke District Court judge has held. [More]

Yeah, OK, fine.

Now tell us where that “authority” for “permits” comes from.

Mr. Pynchon, you’re up.

NRA-ILA Announces Lawsuit Challenging Delaware’s New Permit-to-Purchase Law [More]

Asking and paying the government for permission to exercise a right… yeah, that’s what the Founders had in mind.

And that law was passed by people who put their hand on a Bible or whatever , raised the other, and swore an oath before God and country.

Figures they’re the ones who gave us Biden.

Catch-22

Under its new policy, the LA County Sheriff’s Department says people like Turner must apply through their local police chiefs and receive a letter denying them before asking for permission from the sheriff’s department. [More]

Who then comes up with excuses why he can’t do it.

After a death threat and on the advice of an investigating cop who told me they could not do anything unless it was acted on, I carried illegally in California from @ 1981 to 2007 (when I moved back to Ohio), because I literally could not get a permit to save my life (which I did on one occasion simply by presenting).

Start @ 3:27 for my recollection.

The criminals who deserve to be imprisoned and have their lives destroyed are the goddam bastards who forced me to risk my family, freedom, and career.

Beria Trap*

Someone does not need a license to carry, according to the law, “in his place of abode or fixed place of business.” Yakaitis owned the home Powanda attempted to burglarize. The catch: He didn’t live there—it reportedly had no tenants at the time of the crime—opening a window for law enforcement to charge him essentially on a technicality. [More]

It’s awful hard to make the swine harassing him live in infamy if we’re not told his name.

I wonder if a deliberate indifference lawsuit would work…
