      Morris v. US Army Corps of Engineers

      As we should all be aware, the US Forest Service and the BLM regulate firearms in accordance with State Law (in whatever State that land falls within). We also know that the US Park Service can no longer prohibit firearms, and now goes along with the laws of the State which the Park finds itself...

      NYSRPA v. Cuomo

      There is a lot of movement in Case #80, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, Inc. et al v. Cuomo et al. This was the NRA sponsored case filed on March 21st. I honestly hadn't expected to see what I did, today, when I logged onto PACER. On April 11th, a First Amended Coplaint was...

      A Sad Day For The Shotgun World

      It is with great sadness that I report that a friend; a longtime member and moderator of The Firing Line; a great aficionado of shotgunning and a Son of Maryland, Dave McCracken, passed away late Wednesday evening at his home in Columbia. He was surrounded by his family as he passed away...

      CCA11 Decision: GeorgiaCarry.Org v. Georgia - LOSS!

      Item #46 on Mark's list of cases: At CCA11 today, the panel flat out rejected the appeals from GeorgiaCarry.Org that challenged a State law that banned carry in churches. See: Federal Appeals Court upholds Georgia ban on guns in places of worship This decision flies in the face (as did...

      Jackson v. City & County of San Francisco

      From a post over at TFL: Sean Brady is an Attorney with Michel & Associates, P.C. This law firm are the NRA's "goto" guys in CA. The Jackson case has virtually gone under the radar, both here, at CalGunsNet and at TFL. The reasons for this are few, but varied. For my part, I can name 2...

      Where Are We With The 2A Cases?

      Here is a wrap-up of where things stand. The links of each case refer back to the Internet Archive, as that's where the final determination will mostly be made, as most circuit courts will remand. Richards v. Prieto (was Sykes v. McGinness) Filed, May 5th, 2009. Alan Gura and Donald Kilmer are...

      Jackson and Pizzo vs. San Francisco

Both cases are listed in my Current 2A Cases thread, back at TFL and on Mark's Post-McDonald Second Amendment Cases thread, here at MDShooters. Neither case has gotten much...

      NRA & CRPA Foundation File Lawsuit Challenging Firearm Sales “Fees”

      The full announcement can be read here. The background of this lawsuit started a year ago, when the CA DOJ announced it intended to seek a regulatory decrease in its DROS fees by $5. It seems that there was a surplus in its funds (and still is), to the tune of several million dollars. To...

      Osterweil v. Bartlett, NY State

      Osterweil v. Bartlett is a case that I posted a couple of days ago (third post, item #57 in the Current 2A Cases thread on TFL). This is a peculiar case as it turns on a decidedly narrow interpretation of what a "home" is. The case was filed pro se (meaning Mr. Osterweil represented himself)...

      NRA-ILA gets it... Sorta

      Can anyone say, "It's about time?" NRA-ILA Legal Update. I do have to critique one portion of the ILA report. Early on in the report, the ILA states: OK. That's exactly what we want to see. It is part of the strategy that another organization is using. However, let's get down to facts...

      Thanks to the Community at MDShooters

      Over at Calguns.net, a member who is also a member at TFL, has on several occasions mentioned the list of cases I keep at TFL (to my own embarassment). This prompted a response of thanks to him and the community there. So it is only fair, that I personally thank the community here. Some...

      Sleeper: Enos v. Holder (Lautenberg)

      Donald Kilmer (Nordyke) has been holding out on us. First saw this at Calguns, then went and RECAPped the whole thing. This is a challenge to the Federal interpretation of certain parts of the Lautenberg amendment, as it pertains to CA statutory law. If this survives, while it won't do away...
