    Just got the email that LaRue Tactical is releasing a limited edition of "Nolo Contendre " Dillos that will go to support the fight for Virginia's 2A rights. Every one should know that 100% of the money goes to lawyers that are working to preserve second amendment rights across America. This release is a little different than the others due to the money being used ONLY for Virginia.

    Mark LaRue has done a crazy amount of work to support our 2A rights and the fact that he takes not one cent for production for himself to cover his costs but donates 100% to the cause speaks volumes.

    When you go to his website https://larue.com you need to click on
    "misc" on the header bar then click on "dillo"and the option will pop open to purchase a nolo contendre beverage entry tool.

    Good luck as these usually sell out fast.

    A little more info:

    Hey y’all, Virginia is for gun lovers and it’s Nolo time again, Nolo #6 !!

    The first 5 runs of 1,000 Nolo Dillos were gone in minutes/hours for all 1,000 Nolo $50 Contribution Dillos. Still many of you missed out and are clamoring for yet a 6th run of a 1,000 and Nolo gave the word to hit the release button on Run #6. We're in, and it's for an awesome cause, and I'm tossing in a 6th LaRue Siete, and the 5 Nolo winner Sietes are shipping today !! I’m adding a twist to #6 … you also have a 1-in-20 chance to win one of our long awaited MBT Straight Bow triggers. That’s right, in addition to the rifle giveaway (that’s turned into a pistol), I’m also kicking in 50 LaRue triggers this time.

    To all of you that snapped up one or more from the 1st thru 5th run - thank you.

    Rerunning the Nolo email below ....

    Mark LaRue

    The One Thousandth Challenge.

    Team,

    I made up 1,000 of our Texas custom-engraved Dillos to raise $50,000 for Stephen Stamboulieh (aka “Nolo Contendre” on ar15.com) to defray the 2nd Amendment legal battles he’s in ... for plane tickets, hotel rooms, UBER fees, etc.

    I've watched Stephen carrying all of our 2A waters for years and it's time to pass the plate and throw a fifty in.

    100% of your $50 bucks goes to Stephen's law firm. You know all your money will land straight into the fight. LaRue's contribution is making the custom dillos, anodizing them, engraving them, packaging them and eating the shipping.

    Since you’re reading this … you know I rarely step off the plate to do fundraisers, so when I do, I try to make it worth your while.

    For each Run of 1,000, I will be drawing one name from each run ... for a very nice LaRue Siete 308 pistol. Follow me on Instagram to watch the Siete’s progress.

    From all of us at here at LaRue Tactical ...

    Not One More Inch!

    ML

    P.S. For those of you that can handle a wall-of-text, here's all about
    Nolo Contendre aka Stephen Stamboulieh

    I asked Stephen to jot down some accomplishments when he got a moment.

    Here's a few ...

    ***************************************************
    Nolo Contendre aka Stephen Stamboulieh

    "Graduated law school in 2007 and quickly started working behind the scenes to promote the 2A.


    2011 - Mississippi legislature passed a law (HB 506) allowing individuals to take a firearms handling/safety course, allowing them to carry virtually everywhere. After the Mississippi Department of Public Safety got it's hands on the bill, they tried to promulgate regulations that mandated only MS Law Enforcement Training Academy could teach a 16 hour class.

    I met with the LT. Governor and asked for a meeting with DPS and the Governor’s attorneys. Met during a roundtable and worked out the issues with them agreeing to have instructors from “nationally recognized organizations” teach 8 hour classes instead of police training and 16 hours. It tremendously broadened who could teach, shortening the length of class time required.

    2013 - Worked on legislation to make MS an open carry state. After it was unanimously approved, some Democrats in the legislature filed a lawsuit to stop the law. I filed an Amicus Brief on behalf of 80 legislators supporting the law which defined concealed for the first time in Mississippi, overturning decades of Mississippi Supreme Court precedent saying that essentially you could never have an openly carried firearm because a firearm that was dangling by a string around your neck would be considered a concealed firearm because the string covered a portion of the trigger guard. Seriously. https://courts.ms.gov/newsite2/appe..._live.SCT.13.M.1220.885.0.pdf&c=78495&a=N&s=2

    2014 - Filed two lawsuits aimed ruling that the National Firearms Act impermissibly infringed on the 2A. These cases were ultimately heard by the 3rd and 5th Circuit Courts of Appeal and both courts found that the 2A does not apply to machineguns. (Hollis v. Lynch and Watson v. Lynch)

    In 2015/16 - Assisted in drafting legislation in MS that would further restrict localities from banning firearms and gave individuals the right to contest illegal restrictions in court and made all findings a matter of public record.

    2016 - I began to file cases in the District Court of DC to assist people with their NICS denials. To date, I’ve filed 5 of those and every one has resulted in my clients receiving a proceed on their transactions and their records corrected for the erroneous denial. http://www.sdslaw.us/single-post/2017/08/21/NICS-Processes-Appeal-in-54-Days (see also http://www.sdslaw.us/single-post/20...urt-denies-attorneys-fees-in-NICS-appeal-case denying fees in that case)

    Late 2016 - Rewrote some federal legislation to “fix” the NICS denial issues. To date, that legislation has not been introduced.

    2016 - my co-counsel and I filed a case in New Jersey against its “justifiable need” standard. This case was dismissed after the lead plaintiff (Almeida) was granted a permit and the other plaintiff was found to not have standing.

    2016 - my co-counsel and I filed many stun gun cases seeking to overturn stun guns bans in Annapolis, MD; New Jersey; New Orleans, LA; and New York. We were successful in overturning all of the bans and are currently litigating a case against New York. I’ve also been successful in overturning the ban on stun guns in Philadelphia, Tacoma WA, and Westminster, MD. http://www.sdslaw.us/single-post/2017/10/24/New-Jersey-stun-gun-ban-is-officially-dead

    2017 - Ran for the NRA Board of Directors after being nominated by petition. Ultimately I was not elected to serve on the board.

    Also filed several FOIA cases against ATF and the OIG regarding the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (we prevailed against OIG in that case and were delivered documents that demonstrate how bad the NFRTR really is) http://www.sdslaw.us/single-post/2017/03/22/Hardy-v-ATFOIG---Opinion-and-Order-filed-today

    Also sued the Department of State over Fast & Furious and represent Kent Terry, the brother of slain border patrol agent Brian Terry. We are slowly receiving documents in that case http://www.sdslaw.us/single-post/20...roduction-in-Terry-v-DoS-FOIA-on-Fast-Furious

    Currently, I am still litigating the New York stun gun case and a case with Alan Beck in the 9th Circuit out of Hawaii in which we had oral argument on February 12, 2018. I have two FOIA cases ongoing: One against Department of State (fast & furious) and one against the Air Force for the church shooter’s court martial records. These are both being litigated in DC. http://www.sdslaw.us/single-post/20...-a-Freedom-of-Information-Act-lawsuit-against

    Update –
    This is a list of most of what we have going at the moment. Lots of travel and briefing coming up …

    • Codrea, et al. v. Whitaker, ATF – Bumpstock case. Argued Feb 19, 2019, received opinion Feb 25, 2019. Appealed decision that night to DC Circuit Court of Appeals, in the process of briefing that appeal. Oral argument scheduled March 22, 2019.

    • Young v. State of Hawaii – The 9th Circuit has recently ordered this case to be reheard en banc, asked for multiple copies of the briefs, and then stayed the case pending a resolution of a Supreme Court case that hasn’t even been briefed yet.

    • Savage v. ATF – FOIA Lawsuit pending on the documents from Mandalay Bay (bumpstock related).
    • Savage v. FBI – FOIA Lawsuit pending on the document from Mandalay Bay (bumpstock related).

    • Kent Terry, et al. v. Department of State – FOIA lawsuit pending on Fast & Furious documents from Department of State.

    • Avitabile v. New York – Lawsuit seeking to overturn NY’s ban on electric arms (Argument scheduled for March 5, 2019 in NY).

    • Andrew Roberts v. Hawaii – Lawsuit seeking to overturn HI’s ban on electric arms .

    • Umbert, et al v. USA, Attorney General and FBI – Lawsuit seeking to mandate FBI process NICS appeals and NFA appeals (pending in Washington, D.C.).

    We currently have additional plans for litigation on some anti-gun bills pending in other anti-gun states, but nothing that we can speak about publicly at the moment.

    I continuously consult with attorneys in other states about their laws and spend a great deal of time/money fostering and promoting 2A rights.

    Stephen is who I work with.

    If you guys have noticed I have been filing a lot more cases the past year or two it is because Mark has been paying for our plane tickets depositions research costs etc.

    Thanks Wolf! Every time he puts a run of these Dillo's out I always try to grab one. I know that Mark is a pretty straight up guy and I know the money will go to the cause. Again I appreciate everything you are doing to help with our 2A battle and hope another 50 K into the coffers will help a little bit. Keep up the fight!

    Last night after I got home from our Patriot Picket monthly meeting I saw that they had all been sold out. Took less than 8 hours might have been less than that but not sure as I hadn't checked until then.
