New activity in the New York Transport case that is before the Supreme Court. Looks like NYC"s brief is still due August 5, 2019.
Jul 26 2019 Motion for a further extension of time to file respondents' brief on the merits denied.
Sweet!New activity in the New York Transport case that is before the Supreme Court. Looks like NYC"s brief is still due August 5, 2019.
Jul 26 2019 Motion for a further extension of time to file respondents' brief on the merits denied.
Agreed. It seems rare that extensions are denied.Maybe the Court is getting tired of New York's shenanigans.
That's for transporting intrastate. Nothing in MD law says that you can't go to Peacemaker for the day for some pew pew pew.
That would fall under target shooting, which is legal. And it is for transport period. Nothing about intrastate transport. FOPA covers you if you transport in a certain manner and you still must comply with the state laws in your state of destination and the state you originate while in those states.
Well, not quite. Section 926A expressly preempts any state law or local law if the interstate "transport" is done in compliance with the conditions imposed by Section 926A, regardless of whether that transport would violate state law. It must be legal for the person who is engaged in that transport to possess and carry at the "place" of the origin and at the "place" of the destination. And the person must transport in compliance with 926A, viz., the firearm locked and separated from the ammo in a separate container. If you do all that perfectly and you are solely engaged in the act of "transport" (whatever that means), then you have an affirmative defense.
Oh, good to know. So the posses and carry would more simply mean “you can have it”. So if I went from my house where I can legally have a handgun, transport it per 926A to, say, West Virginia where constitutional Carey is fine for a week of camping...I’d be okay. Because I possessed and carried the firearm legally at my destination and at my point of origin and abused by 926A as to the manner in which it is transported?

Cant wait to see what NYC cooks up. They are between a rock and a hard place here.
What happens once NYC submits their brief? What is the next step?
