    Ya! Nothing to it. I'd do it again for this cause, but in my reply to the MSI email I explained I was involved in the Taser case. I assume it disqualifies me.

    I don't see why that would. Email esqappellate he can decide whether you fit what we need

    I am not getting paid for these cases unless I win and getting local counsel is actually really hard. Even if I do win and get paid it is not a lot of money. For every hour I could ever bill to the Court I am calling dozens of lawyer and potenial clients trying to sell them on working with a lawyer they often times have never met. am not going to bend over backwards trying to find a lawyer when the local 2a lawyers group told me to pound sand.

    So far I've convinced our local counsel simply to take a percentage if we do get attorney fees but in Delaware all the pro 2a lawyers are part of the same club. I would have had to pay a local lawyer up front out of my own pocket to file a case there.

    Hey, we're all on the same team right? Oh wait...

    Unbelievable.

    The County filed its response to the PI today.
    The State of New York has a response due as well by the 7th.

    google is your friend, I am not.
    :smh:

    Technically, the brief is correct: The Supreme Court did not say the ban was unconstitutional, the court merely rejected all the best reasons it might be unconstitutional then remanded... reasons which NY then repeats to justify the ban. But hey maybe this time, right?

    Right, and with the precedent from Kachalsky, City of San Francisco, Woollard, Drake, and Kolbe, all a state needs to do to justify ANY restriction on ANY weapon is claim that the legislature reasonably weighed the evidence and decided it would further public safety. That's it. They don't need to show that the evidence upon which they relied was reliable or that their "weighing" of the evidence was reasonable. With the rational basis scrutiny dressed up as intermediate they've been peddling, that's all that the courts require.

    20 year old daughter is heading to Baltimore city today. She wants to carry her tazer or mace for obvious reasons. Can she legally do so? I read this and still confused with the Baltimore outcome?

    we are wrapping up this taser business nationwide. I suspect the only place we need to actually sue is Rhode Island. This article is from Westminster the last place with a taser ban in maryland.

    Question: Does Ocean City have a Taser Ban?
