Notes from the Resistance
Nebraska Legislature passes permitless concealed carry bill [More]
Good for them.
This is what caught my attention:
Lincoln Police released a statement after the vote: “The chief is disappointed in the legislature’s decision because the most important factor in making these decisions should be public safety and the men and women who serve our community.”
Where I come from, 55% is a failing grade.

Recently, Fred Edgecomb, who has been affiliated with both the NRA and its state affiliate, the NC Rifle & Pistol Assoc., was heard claiming credit for passing Senate Bill 41 to repeal NC purchase permits and expand concealed carry into churches sponsoring schools. GRNC members should understand that neither NRA nor NCRPA had any apparent role in passing SB 41. NRA lobbyist DJ Spiker only showed up at the last minute, and we are unaware of any significant action by NCRPA. In truth, it was GRNC volunteers who sent alerts, packed committee meetings, walked legislative hallways, and deluged legislators with input. [More]
The latest GRNC alert requesting support to pass permitless carry is out. All I have is their email and my WoG Placeholder blog didn’t display html right. If I see a working link from GRNC anytime soon I will update this post so those interested can go to where they can see and click on action items.

True, it’s not everything it’s hyped up to be, but it’s an incremental improvement. Time now for a renewed push and holding both the Vichycons and the State Sheriffs Association’s feet to the fire.

Florida gun owners may soon be able to carry concealed weapons without a license as the permitless carry bill moves one step closer to the governor’s desk after passing in the House on Friday. [More]
But, as we’ve been discussing of late, it won’t include open carry because “law and order” Republicans feel more beholden to the Florida Sheriff’s Association than they do gun owners.
Do what the antis do. Take the incremental win and then come back for more. Bruen‘s tradition and history are is on the side of open carry and they can’t document any credible increase in crime from lawful open carry so that prohibition will fall.
Unless gun owners are ready to take political revenge on the Vichycons — and that means having someone they’ll get behind and support to run against the squishes — there’s not much they can do but complain, which doesn’t accomplish much and is bad for the digestion…

Florida’s former NRA lobbyist, Marion Hammer, used to be a powerful force for gun rights. Sadly, that is no longer the case. [More]
The wackos, hillbillies, idiots, fruitcakes, and nuts have a point. Dissidents, malcontents, and enemies within all, according to her…
Here’s what she thinks of the general members that NRA’s existence depends on.

With all those infringements, why do they call it”Constitutional carry”?
I wonder if it will pass.
They didn’t want Constitutional Carry nor Open Carry to pass because the idea of their minority neighbors being armed scared them. [More]
Sound like anyone we know…?

On Tuesday, Nov. 22, she filed Senate Bill 0010 which “requires a person to obtain an enhanced or concealed handgun permit to carry a handgun in certain counties,” and those counties are Davidson and Shelby. [More]
If you think about it, the only way this could help protect her constituents is if they are criminals.

Maybanks and Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness agreed that the increases in gun charges are attributed to gun law changes — such as that carry permits are no longer required in Iowa. Maybanks acknowledged that individuals have a constitutional right to carry a firearm, but if they have been convicted of a felony or use the gun illegally, they have no such right. [More]
So leaving aside the obvious for a moment, how does permitless carry change any of that?
Oh, it doesn’t?
Then why would Janet say that?
Great job there just parroting and not questioning that, “authorized journalist” Trish Mehaffey!

And not just Florida Republicans…
