      SCOTUS involvement in Naperville IL firearm ban

      I think they already have the issue in front of them. They have asked for and received briefings. I know they are smart enough to see through the 7CA's ploy to continue deprivation of rights and I am praying they act.

      Small revolvers as Backup/Carry Guns?

      I never heard the resolution. He had some non-related personal problems and moved to another state for employment reasons.

      Small revolvers as Backup/Carry Guns?

      I went to the range a few times with a guy who had one. He bought it and never fired it, for well over a year. When we tried it with .38s it locked up after every shot. Cylinder just would not turn. After much manipulation and fiddling, we could get the cylinder open. Tried 6 new rounds, checked...

      Kyle Rittenhouse being sued

      If we get back to the lawsuit, I think the basic premise is that Kyle and the Police conspired to allow armed "protectors" to tamp down the rioting. Well, the potential counterclaim is that politicians and Antifa conspired to allow the rioting and, as it turned out in real life, this conspiracy...

      Kyle Rittenhouse being sued

      I don't think it is going to be easy to prove that Kyle "conspired" with police based on a very limited number of casual contacts before he was attacked. It is even a stretch to claim police conspired with a very loosely organized group of non-rioters protecting businesses. Where is this trial...

      Four Boxes Dinner just said NJ got spanked

      This is a great result. Now we have to keep the ground we gained through the appeal process and probably on to the Supremes.

      NY ordered to answer to SCOTUS

      Sotomayor is in charge of emergency appeals for the Second Circuit, and if she sides with New York, SCOTUS does not have a say in anything until the litigations go through the 2CA and then are appealed to SCOTUS through appellate jurisdiction. I don't think this is exactly the way it works. If...

      GOA files Emergency app with USSC for PI in Antonyuk v Nigrelli

      I think she has darker motives. And many years of experience. While seemingly giving defendants a short time frame, she gave them extra time -- if they are willing to work over the holiday. My take is that she is trying to keep this out of the hands of Justice Thomas. She will make as narrow a...

      Oregon “one-ups” California again. Time to re-think retirement planning.

      I retired to southern (conservative) OR from CA 15 years ago. For 15 years OR has been far, far ahead of CA or MD. I don't see how 114 survives a challenge. There might even be room for a PI since it will not go into effect until mid 2023, so a PI would preserve the status quo. Many of the...

      Young v Hawaii

      Why do I think the winning side wimped out at the last minute? Shall issue is nice, but what we really need are strict time limits on processing an application. Days, not weeks or months.

      NYC CCW case is at SCOTUS!

      One obvious approach is delay, delay delay in issuing. If there is no statutory deadline for a decision no permit will ever be issued. If there is a deadline it will be misinterpreted so as to produce a longer delay. For instance, 90 days, will extend to 90 business days, and that will be...

      Need help with a mauser

      The first thing I would do is to clean the bore well. Look down it carefully and make certain there are no rough spots. Hold the rifle vertical with the muzzle up. Try to drop a .308 bullet down the barrel. If it is really 8 mm, the .308 bullet will slide down easily, if it has been rebarreled...

      To muzzle brake my 308 or not, that is the question.

      +1 The tighter it is against your shoulder, the less the felt recoil. I have two .308s and neither one is a recoil monster. I am about your weight and height but 15 years older. I would never hunt with a muzzle brake -- I value my hearing too much.

      Automatic Knives - Legal in Maryland ?

      Several times a year, I bend over and something in my pocket presses the alarm button on my key fob causing my car to start honking the horn. Can anyone explain why I would want to put something in my pocket that when the same thing happens causes a razor sharp blade to spring out right...
