We are all watching these cases so closely that we (unless we are lawyers) are seeing details of the legal system that we have never seen before. Usually we are going about our business, and casually hear something about a court decision and think 'oh, that's good' or 'oh that sucks' and go...
Wapner, Divorce Court, all the classics. If you watch enough Law and Order, you get the impression that every case goes to trial, which is absolutely ridiculous. And that the NYPD only deals with upscale white families in all their cases. Especially in Manhattan.
Does not mean anything either way. We are conditioned by television to have everything resolved in a dramatic way.
If he would have issued a decision from the bench, you know the state would have hauled ass to the circuit court and had it overturned.
This way, the decision will be accompanied...
Best guess:
Is that there has been communication among the state governor and the leadership of the group of generally anti-2A cities and counties, and these are the results of that. The reason for that communication is due to anyone with half a brain knowing that the CCIA's days are numbered...
It is still up to a judge. The judge cannot demand that the applicant demonstrate a need beyond the average person for self defense (discretionary licensing).
But he can jerk off to pics of my wife at the beach while looking at our Fakebook. That he can do.
The Antonyuk II brief is very well constructed. I particularly like the heads-up the plaintiff gave the judge that the state is a slippery animal. The brief reminds the judge that in NYSRPA 1 the state voided out a law that prohibited guns from leaving NYC in order that SCOTUS not hear the...
I have no idea how accurate the article is. What I do know, in response to Ping's statistics above, my fleece jacket has a 100% chance of hiding my sidearm until April. Not that I am admitting to intending to violate the new law or anything...
I just saw a clip of Hair Hitler speaking in an interview. Very strange guy. Very odd affect.
'A transition' (pause, points to interviewer).... 'to' (pause, points somewhere else)... 'Renewables'.....
Fully understand that. However NY law does not provide for the public handling of a loaded and exposed firearm in a location other than at a range or at home.
Taking a gun from a belt holster to a lock box in a public location (this is a motorcyle, not the back of an SUV) in plain view is a...
Three separate discussions here at once:
1. Interstate travel: as noted in above posts, precedes the Articles of Confederation and Constitution. Also noted in 14th A 'privileges and immunities' and simply in the 5th A (due process). Why can I be restricted in travel (and incur a loss of...
It is if you decide it is your preferred mode of travel, and you have a license to operate such motorcycle and you own a motorcycle that is road legal. And you have a desire to travel somewhere. Taking away that right to travel would be a 5th Amendment violation of due process. And a 14th...
I tried to take a small trip last weekend in which I was compliant with the new law, it did not last long. At one point I found a parking spot out past the parking lot and put the handgun in the safe in the back of the SUV (already there pre-CCIA) and was worried someone would see me do so...
Many conservatives I talk to were very shaken by the Blood Red speech.
However;
I don't see that speech as much of a warning to conservatives but to liberals that if they are going to leave the fold, do it now. Those that are in, are in.
Biden was telling them.... if you, as a lib, were...
There are many things going on at once here. Yes, there is more than one case, I commented on the Boron case out of Buffalo (NDNY)
Keep in mind when you look back at where we have come from to establish a possible trajectory for the future.
First, New York has a habit of writing gun laws...
Plaintiff challenges three worst aspects of CC!A; public transportation, parks and local stores. Plaintiff is a motorcycle enthusiast who regularly travels through the ADKS, and is afraid to do so due to poorly written law which seems to prevent travel in that entire area. As a motorcyclist...

Conservative Judaism is a sect within Judaism. The use of the word 'conservative' has nothing to do with the American political spectrum.
It would be like saying "I'm going to make a conservative estimate here..." and the other person assuming that because you said that, you voted for Trump...
I grew up in Brooklyn in the 60s/70s. At at that time, it was mostly working/lower class, but everyone always seemed to have plenty of money around.
Learned over the years that there were many people who operated their entire lives on the margins of legit society. My parents were...
People make fun of my flip phone, but I got too creeped-out when my new LG screen phone asked me if I liked the last 3 or 4 stores I visited.
Wait, how the hell did you know that?
It's not a phone anymore, now I just use it as a wi-fi terminal to read the news, mostly on the crapper.
Paying with cash is always a good idea anyway.
Using cash to avoid this crap would be more of a Gray Market, but the existence of a thriving Gray or Black Market is usually an indicator of a failed society. Societies usually fail on purpose.
All I know is that I will NOT fill out the...
I can verify that the Great American in Sidney, NY has a pro-concealed carry sign up at both entrances. This is the Great American off of Main Street, NOT the Price Chopper.
Spoke to the manager. He was appreciative that I approached him. He said the he has had only positive feedback from...
Actually it's a good thing to do anyway. If you have to intervene if someone is harming the property a document like that gives you 'license and privilege' to be there and to take lawful action to assist.
They can hire armed security or provide their own security if they have the armed security license. Which is a terrible shame, but that is also what may give them standing in court.
Take a closeup of the sign and a wide angle of the store. That should cover you even if the sign is not there next time and you forget to check for it. IMO be sure to thank the manager.
Not only that, but when charged with a crime involving a firearm, the existence of a license to carry OR even LE credentials may become vitiated. I have heard of cops being charged with gun crimes if they do something stupid off duty involving brandishing or shooting.
Outdoor Limited.
Delivered directly to your front door. Destination state does not matter to them. Approx. $20 shipping. With the price of gas, the shipping cost works out to be negligible, especially if you have to hit several stores to find out what's in stock here and there.

I do Finger Lakes Trail maintenance in that area, and often stop at that store on the way home (via I 88 west).
If the sign is up at that time, I will thank the manager and tell him his business may increase.
I have spoken to various people of various religions. Each of whom carries during services. Most upon agreement with the clergy.
None are prepared to give up their 2A rights during those times and at those locations.
None.
Problem is, that if their failures ever result in real consequences, will they be able to pass the pain off to us?
The article describes what they have actually been doing for the last century, and if there is a real societal collapse, we, again, will have to pay for it - this time by living...
If you have at least a month until the trip, get a FID card. Or go around.
If you do go through NJ without the ID card, DO NOT stop anywhere. Not the range, not anywhere.

Interesting fact: NY is the only state in which you cannot touch a handgun w/o a...
Two things: One, he declared Antonyuk the presumptive winner of the case, but did not grant standing. Two, he said that he was able to use interest balancing due to this being an injunction, not the real case. If it were a real case, a plaintiff with the same arguments and standing would have...
I did read quickly through the decision and the judge did say that he agreed with most of the plaintiff's argument. It was more of a technicality that caused the dismissal. I still think the judge is a coward, though.
Dismissed.
DECISION AND ORDER that Plaintiffs' Complaint (Dkt. No. 1 ) is sua sponte DISMISSED without prejudice for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3}. Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction (Dkt. No. 9 ) is denied without prejudice as moot...
There is no reason why the judge will not meet with clerks to do a final review after hours. This could go late. Relax.
The 'relax' was for me. I keep telling myself that,
There was recently a case which was tossed in favor of the gov't (defendant), by a plaintiff contesting mandatory serial numbers. This got the pro 2A community very unhappy and pessimistic.
However, the history of serialization of firearm parts goes back before the Civil War in order to keep...
I work armed security in a government building. The jurisdiction I work in never passed a local law prohibiting carry in the buildings. (It's NOT a courthouse.) Not carrying in the building is a courtesy the public extends to us, and I never forget that. So far, I have never had a situation...
