The specific citations of law above support everything I said in my post. The normally accepted sensitive (restricted, off-limits, whatever) state-imposed locations such as government buildings and parks are no more welcoming of LEOSA than they are of a CCW holder. In addition, LEOSA does...

LEOSA is not anywhere near as powerful as most think it is, especially since cops get away with carrying more because they are generally law abiding, squared away and in the case of retired guys, old looking, which is also a plus. LEOSA does not exempt the individual carrying a weapon from...

What's happening to New York City (and thus NY State and the entire nation) is the Cloward-Piven Strategy in real time. https://conduitforaction.org/the-cloward-piven-strategy-orchestrating-a-crisis-so-government-can-solve-it/

"The New York law at issue in this application presents novel and serious questions under both the First and Second Amendments." - Justice Samuel Alilto, with whom Justice Clarence Thomas joins. 11 January 2023

It's not up to him to combine the cases or not. The recent note from SCOTUS indicated that they are looking at all the relevant cases.

True, but in the mean time, the anti-2A decision is vacated.

Every one of the nine Justices has at one time been a lower court judge. They know exactly how long each and every phase of a case should take and what is an unreasonable delay. Justices Alito and Thomas know they have the votes to back them up within the Court. They would never bluff. The...

Also bear in mind that a full review of a case by the Supreme Court is not necessary. We have been discussing how long cases usually take, but there is a solid option for SCOTUS to take if/when the 2nd Circuit gives its written opinion that actually says something, not just a hit and run stay...

When Justice Scalia read this opinion in 2008, there were two Constitutional carry states, Vermont and Alaska. Today there are 25. Last week, I drove 2,408 miles cross country, and never once removed my lawfully carried handgun from my hip. I could have gone another roughly 500 miles (through...

CNN used the quote out of context, they did so in order to lessen the impact the recent note from Alito and Thomas has with whomever reads the article. It has no bearing on the case. The old saying about sausage making, attributed to several sources from Bismarck to Twain, is particularly...

Reference the recent note from Alito and Thomas. They included in their very short-and-to-the-point note, TWO cases out of New York that are not on their (SCOTUS) docket. As Mark from the Diner said, there are thousands of cases active at any given time, and the two senior justices mentioned...

This quote is from five years ago. The history of 21st Century 2A jurisprudence in a nutshell is that both Heller (2008) and McDonlald (2010) were decided 5-4, with Justice Kennedy being the deciding vote. Justice Scalia had to tone-down his opinion on Heller just for Kennedy to approve it...

Glock: It's not time yet. The pieces are not in place for SCOTUS to issue a broad, definitive ruling. At this point , they could only say: 'OK stay lifted.' See below. Mav: I hope so. I believe the game is headed that way and I would be surprised otherwise. My opinion: Alito and Thomas...

I clearly see more than that. The two justices have already taken sides and agree with Judges Suddaby and Sinatra. (and Judge Bumb presumably.)

There is a serious reason that the Supreme Court rarely issues interlocutory appeals. If they (SCOTUS) lifts the stay, then the 2nd Circuit hears the next phase of the case and re-applies the stay, then what just happened? What has happened is that the 2nd Circuit has effectively over-ruled...

The wider question is what to do when a state goes rogue. The Amendments passed after the Civil War (13, 14, 15) were an answer to states going rogue and denying basic rights. Thus began a 100+ year fight to implement them. Pass more Amendments? We already have the 2A and 14A. That's all we...

I don't think you and I disagree on anything. Except for possibly a choice of wording. My 'could happen' refers to passing yet another a law after the CCIA is struck down, not all the egregious crap they have thrown at us in the past several years. I know that's not 'could' it is 'most...

Alito is 72. Thomas is 74. Roberts late 60s. The three younger conservatives are in their 50s.

That's not a victory. That's abandoning 232 years of Constitutional jurisprudence and the Rule of Law in favor of rule by raw power and intimidation. Of course it could happen, but that's all they have left.

Anything could happen, and it will take time with occasional setbacks, but ultimately I do not see that the anti-gun politicians in NY and NJ have a path to victory other than stalling until several SCOTUS justices retire or die during a leftist administration.

What happened today in Jersey is a win/win for 2A. Two paths are in front of us... one in which the 3rd Circuit leaves Judge Bumb's decision in place, one in which they grant a stay, similar to what the 2nd Circuit did to Suddaby/Sinatra. In the first scenario, even though it is early in the...

NO... This is a legal brief submitted by one of the defendants. It is NOT a decision from a court. Of course it is going to go after Suddaby's decision. THIS IS NOT A LOSS IN ANY WAY. Just a legal brief.

Different encounter with TSA. One encounter was at the check-in for the handgun and the later one that everyone goes through. It was in a small zipper pocket in my fleece jacket. By the time I realized I had it, my suitcase was probably on the aircraft. They were very polite and...

A few items of clarification.. Don't try this from Vermont (fly out of ALB) or from any other state to any airport in New York w/o a NY license. Licensed NY pistol owners only. I am not sure what happens with long guns only, I don't even think the sheriff's deputies would be involved at all...

Just got home from a cross country trip from Phoenix to home (PA). Carried the same handgun as I do at work the entire way. I am not a cop, HR 218 does not apply to me. Included New York in my travels (full carry license from a southern tier NY county) on both directions of the trip. Flew...

Antonyuk et al has made it to SCOTUS's shadow docket... SCOTUS DOCKET 22A557

Agreed. NY was waiting for the Bruen decision to come down before passing CCIA. They were ready with it for some time prior. Sure, FUKH signed it with a vindictive mindset, but it was going to happen regardless. Bruen actually puts gun owners in a better position than if it did no happen...

Anyone in the southern tier/Catskills area who needs help with becoming licensed, let me know. I don't dispense legal advice, but I can hook you up with some phone numbers and websites.

https://casetext.com/case/in-re-world-trade-center-disaster This seems to be important to them (In re World Trade Center), enough to include it in a one-page ruling. Does anyone have any ideas on this? They seem to consider it important enough to mention in each ruling. What makes that case...

Who In the US Is Objectively Racist? The Left. As the Data Show Definitively. Joe Biden and the Democrats keep gunning for your guns. Research like this is a major part of their argument. What it shows–definitively–is that it isn’t guns. It’s a particular social pathology enabled by a social...

RE: document in post 1336 above from NDNY; Is this the final resolution of NYSRPA v. Bruen (the SCOTUS case) which was remanded back to the 2nd? If it is, it is simply the 2nd/NDNY saying 'OK, plaintiffs got whatever they came here for, can we be done?"

The implications of the above two sentences are only remedied with years of work. My house was used as a summer residence for a few years and not heated in the winter. Large-scale repairs which never should have been needed if the house were heated during the winter.

Wrong team

While Sanders and King formally caucus with Democrats, Sinema declined to explicitly say that she would do the same. She did note, however, that she expects to keep her committee assignments -- a signal that she doesn't plan to upend the Senate composition, since Senate Majority Leader Chuck...

The few times the Senate has been 50/50, the parties utilized a 'power sharing agreement' in which day-to-day operations were split generally down the middle. Both parties had some committee chairmanships, for example, which are powerful positions. Yes, the VP could cast a tie-breaking vote...

Understood. However from my experience, many security agencies are simply looking to fill a slot in a schedule with a warm body and call it good. I have taken training above and beyond whatever situation I have found myself in my entire life. But doing so gets time consuming, expensive and...

This is a state-by-state legislative and judicial battle with federal ramifications. DC will only enter the fray if voting anti-2A on a federal legislative level will not become a career-ending move, as witnessed after Clinton's AWB. At least in the purple states. There are a lot of purple...

If I move, upend my life and give up all that I worked for and move to the reddest of red states, I may buy myself enough time to not have to deal with this ever again in my lifetime. But it won't last there, either. Not forever. New York, Cali, Oregon and some others are being used as test...

I would ask that you not over-write the forms upon changing them. Create an archive, with dates. Anyone ever gets jammed up, we can use that to demonstrate that not only is this population (CCW holders) a stickler for the law, but we are not perfect, and may have left the house one morning...

Go to the training section of this website for a post on a local training outfit running CCW classes is Cobleskill NY (just west of Albany).

https://www.cretactical.com/nys-concealed-carry-course.html

Cobleskill is on Interstate 88 about an hour west of Albany, about an hour and a half east of Binghamton.

I do not see any classes upcoming for the new year (2023) but I am sure they will have that class (New York CCW) available when the new schedule is posted. Be patient, this is a two-man outfit and they bring-on other instructors on a class-by-class basis. But they are great guys and they will...

And yet the stay in Antonyuk specifically excludes carry in church (in other words it upholds Judge Suddaby's ruling to allow church carry)... So how does a LE agency enforce these laws, and how does a law abiding citizen remain such with opposing rulings from the same court?

Bottom line... When was the last time I was frisked by a law enforcement officer? Oh, that's right.... never.

After all that, the day ended pretty much the way it began... Carry on private property (businesses open to the public) and as part of a church team. Unless I am missing something, the stay for the Suddaby case excluded (still allows) church carry, and the case with Sinatra regarding private...

No. On the job training is NOT a senior co-worker showing you around, similar to an FTO. What it is... When you are officially hired by an employer, you have to go back and more or less re-take the basic 8 hour class over again. TWICE. They just call it on-the-job, but it is really just...

Within a year or two, we will go to a mandatory yearly security refresher and the instructor will mention that back in 2022 the cases before Judges Suddaby and Sinatra created a quasi-official designation within a church of an armed person keeping the peace. Maybe DCJS will hit them up for a...

If you work security according to the NY Security Guard Act of 1994, you must work for an employer, whether or not you are paid. Your jurisdiction ends at the end of your employer's property. Your powers are that of a civilian, but a civilian who is specifically designated to protect life and...

It would also help if your employer filled out a form with the state entitled 'Proprietary Employer of Security' which makes them a legitimate employer of security. It's a two-page form. Also keep in mind that having an armed security license has no validity beyond your employer's property...
