Notes from the Resistance
That means the City’s “No Firearms” signs, as currently written, overstep the law. They mislead the public into believing that lawful transport — which is clearly protected by state law — is forbidden. [More]
The cynic in me says that’s deliberate.
The realist in me says they are that incompetent.
Smith doesn’t expect a win at this stage. With a panel of judges appointed by Reagan, Trump, and Biden—but leaning against gun rights—he predicts the court may rule against plaintiffs either on standing or the merits. But that just sets the stage for a bigger battle ahead—potentially at the Supreme Court. [More]
Oh, well then, victory is assured with those eager beavers!
The Federal Appeals Court for the 7th circuit heard an oral argument about gun free zones and whether they are constitutional under the 2nd Amendment. [Watch]
Of course they’re not. “Shall not be infringed,” remember?
Which doesn’t mean this won’t go on for years and end up in front of a deliberately indifferent a Supreme Court that denies cert.
Forgive me if the whole Snope deal has soured me on hyperbolic video titles.

Judge rules Illinois ban on concealed carry on public transit unconstitutional [More]
Not that it will affect these guys…
Expect this trip to be a long one, with plenty of attempts to derail the train and throw gun owners under the bus.

Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that Federal District Court Judge Iain D. Johnston has declared the State of Illinois’ ban on carrying firearms on public transportation and in public transportation facilities unconstitutional as applied to the named plaintiffs in the FPC-supported lawsuit Schoenthal v. Raoul. [More]
Good. But don’t overlook “The State is expected to appeal the decision.”

Video released: Assault on Embark bus driver leads to crash into Oklahoma City business [More]
Y’ever notice how the same people condemning “the American obsession with driving” demand we be helpless on public transit?
