They have ruled on warant-less gun confiscation. Justice Alito gave a concurring opinion in which he criticized Red Flag laws, but noted that this case was not about that topic. From May 17th 2021:
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that warrantless gun confiscation from Americans’ homes is...
"And the elected government must have a meaningful monopoly on the use of force."
That is the only tidbit I gathered from that word-salad article written about the Michigan protest and I do not agree with it. Why is it that lefties prefer being controlled by force?
No private citizen should ever be denied, under any circumstances, the right to carry any weapon that a police officer can carry off duty.
No private citizen should ever be denied, under any circumstances, the right to own any weapon that a police officer can either privately own or be assigned...
Yeah, remember how the world seemed to fall apart during Trump's admin? How inflation was rampant, supply lines collapsed and then Russia invaded Ukraine?
Oh, wait....
Never mind.
During the time when COVID was still in the forefront, roughly a year ago, I did a highly unscientific survey of the results of contact tracing. I just casually talked to people and when they mentioned contact tracing, I asked a few simple questions for my curiosity only.
My sample was highly...
6 PM Friday: vote to send HR 1808 (so-called AWB) back to committee is not passing which means it is closer to an actual up-or-down vote on the bill.
So far, three Dems have crossed the aisle, and two Reps have. Net one Dem crossing to Nay, which is not enough to send back to committee and...
She can take the trip and then fall and hit her head on the marble sink once SAFELY back in DC or SanFran.
Downing a US government aircraft would be an act of war. Or at least it should be considered that way.
The city itself. It's a metaphor. I married a girl who lived in Brooklyn for several years. It's what I saw in her, the attitude. Still do.
I worked in the city for over 20 years, and met many fantastic people. I still feel most comfortable around NYC expats.
But the city itself is a...
Countless millions have been deluded by the excitement, the pace, the diversity, the infrastructure, the sexuality.
But in the end, all you will remember is no matter what you thought you saw in her, what your feelings were for her, what you thought the relationship was, all you ever really got...
Watch the video and take the opening narration seriously. "Don't ask me why, but the big one has hit, okay? So...."
That's the message right there. Don't ask. And the way she says 'okay' as in 'I'm done with that part of the conversation.'
And the buildings are fine. That says something as...
Any population in significant numbers meeting that criteria will be from Suffolk. No way they are running the gauntlet westward. You could do an entire Steven King mini-series filmed at the Port Jeff ferry dock or Orient Point.
My questions are:
1) Ostensibly, the NYC posting suggests prep for hurricanes, but as per experience, only low-lying areas are really vulnerable, and this hurricane season does not seem to be any more remarkable than an average year so far.
2) I find this unusual coming on the heels of the...
That is also going to make the training requirement even worse than it already is.... No school is going to dedicate resources to something which is currently winding its way through the courts, especially when they are already booked doing armed and unarmed security, non-resident (Utah...
I met a guy who kept putting his car into trees, bushes, store fronts, etc due to a drinking problem. Difficulty was that he ran a company which provided high-paying jobs in a small city which was otherwise decaying.
Never did time, just got an ankle monitor. I would not have trusted him...
I had a conversation with someone who was about to purchase a car. In the second paragraph of the conversation, I told that person that two of my neighbors had killed someone with their cars (true story) so I will be walking everywhere I go from now on.
And that there should be a voluntary car...
I did not see that you replied to my post or I would have gotten back earlier.
Understand that I am picking up snippets of information here and there. DCJS oversees the security guard licensing program in NY and certifies the instructors. Their requirements to become an instructor are way...
What it leaves out is that all the way up to DCJS, everyone is in a 'nobody knows nuthin' situation at present. I am in contact with DCJS certified instructors on a regular basis and this is all still one huge unknown at this time.
If you have a lifetime license from the county, you will renew on the state police website. If you do that soon, you will be buying yourself at least 3 years to take the required training. Considering all the lawsuits, I would only be doing short-term planning at this time. Things will look...
As far as I can tell so far, it will be a DCJS approved course, with DCJS approved instructors. No other courses/instructors will count towards the requirements. I hope I am wrong, but the people I talk to are in regular contact with DCJS.
DCJS: NY Div. Criminal Justice Svcs.
Suffice it to say there are no founding-era analogues in accord with the CCIA’s (Hochul's new law) demands. In 1776, it would have been preposterous to have required William Floyd (an original signatory to the Declaration of Independence from New York) to sit down with a British licensing...
I drove with my wife from Suffolk County to Stamford, CT to apply and then when you get the local license, you then transfer to the state's jurisdiction forever after. They were wonderful about the entire process. Still have one. But the original application was 30 years ago, so you will have...

I would cross thru NYC and go up the Thruway to 84 west to Scranton and then come back down 81 to the Harrisburg area. The benefit of that is you also avoid New Jersey. Avoiding New Jersey is always a good thing. Especially when firearms are part of the discussion.
I am not a lawyer, but know...
First off, I have no idea where you are coming from, therefore I don't know your route, in order to help make your trip to a sheriff's office convenient for you. I know of nothing in that area, because when I lived in NY, I used the two counties I mentioned. That served me well for decades...
The best two in-and-out locations are in Scranton and Bellefonte, PA (Centre County). In Scranton, park in the multi-level garage across the street (down one block) and in Centre County just park in front of the houses across from the Sheriff's office. In Scranton you will spend a few minutes...
We have a specific county building policy which delineates public and non-public areas of our buildings. We have general lobby areas, and most departments have a reception area specifically for business with that department. Then we have office areas which are completely off limits to the...
If anyone has a state renewal up in the next year, RENEW NOW on the state police website. I don't know about after 9/1, but mine renewed no problem. You can renew up to a year early. It buys you 3 years until you have to take the course. I cannot imagine the landscape looking the same in 3...
“You're going to go to the hearing, if the allegations turn out to be false, you can sue that individual for tortious interference,” the DA said. “They can be charged with falsely reporting an incident, so yes, you do have remedies.”
That needs to happen against anyone who reports under even...
What's nuts is that before last Friday no license holder would have any need to have the above conversation. What's good is that this new law does not only affect as narrow a constituency as the safe act did. And there were workarounds for that.
This affects hundreds of thousands, if not...
"...analogies to those historical regulations..."
Courthouses, polling places, legislative bodies and schools were the only restricted areas at the time of the founding. And for schools, it was only for students, due to a rash of dueling incidents. Possible analogous locations could include...
In my opinion, everything is on our side except a corrupt governor and possible corrupt lower court judges.
Consider, for example, Heller’s discussion of “longstanding” “laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings.” 554 U. S., at 626...
Since the ability of the Supreme Court to strike down laws is not in the Constitution (Marbury v. Madison) I have no idea if it has the statutory ability to enforce its rulings. That corrupt POS in 'Justice' (ha ha) certainly would not.
The only state which has not ever 'infringed' to my knowledge and within my lifetime is Vermont. Today, Constitutional Carry is the law in 25 states.
The pendulum is clearly swinging in our direction, and IMO will continue to do so.
Justice Thomas turned that pendulum into a wrecking ball...
An excellent example, believe it or not, is HR 218, which most cops think is a '50 state license to carry.'
No, it's not.
The effect it has is to create a system of nationwide courtesy, but it is not a carry license. A PO carrying on HR 218 can be arrested for carrying the weapon, but it will...
I would look to 'affirmative defense' in that case.
Yes, I did punch him in the nose, but it was a boxing match at a boxing arena.
Yes, I did go 100 miles and hour but I am a race car driver and this is a race track.
Yes, I have a firearm, but it is a legal hunting area and I have a hunting...
