They aren't meant to prevent any further crime, this bill and associated laws are meant to keep more lawfully carried firearms off the street.
LOL....How do I answer this? dblas
oh yeah, duh. Guess we better not let the nannies hear that.
Unless you’re having a public demonstration on your private property. So it’s either 1A or 2A, but not both?100 foot rule is gone, you would have to be on park property to violate the law. Also, exemption still exists for being on your own property.
Yes, the courts strive to invalidate only the unconstitutional parts and will leave the rest if remainder can be reasonably implemented and would have been intended by the legislature. The severability clause is important in that analysis. It's not necessarily controlling on the question, but the legal presumption is that sections of a law are severable under that test.@esqappellate are severability clauses a token thing or do courts respect them?
Wouldn't that include pretty much every gas station and convenience store? Lottery terminals are all over the place.
In general, it’s a principle of judicial review to work surgically and strike down as little as possible, even without an explicit severability clause. Any provision that still makes sense with the offending provisions removed will be left in place. The severability clause is effectively a legislative assertion that the separate provisions may stand alone even if their companions fall.I’m guessing a Federal Court will not give a whit about a state severability clause
Broadly speaking, what are the chances (what %) that SB1 or the MoCo law will eventually get struck down? If so will it be years or months?Yes, the courts strive to invalidate only the unconstitutional parts and will leave the rest if remainder can be reasonably implemented and would have been intended by the legislature.

Given we have mag limits and a HQL after over 10 years. My bet is on a couple years until they are struck down… fingers crossed we will get a TRO for the duration while it progresses through the courts.Broadly speaking, what are the chances (what %) that SB1 or the MoCo law will eventually get struck down?

I think that if we can get more than 10% of the 140,000 current wear & carry permit holders to actively engage with legislators about 2nd Amendment related legislation, the legislators would think and behave differently. The wear & carry permit holder population segment is sizeable at about 140,000 people now, and on the way to 240,000 people by end of this year. In five years it might be close to a million people. It's a big voting block.Not one person that is on the opposite side of the law gives a wet fart about any of this. It will do nothing to curb violence in this state. Violent crime, Murder, etc. will continue to happen at an increasing rate. All this does is further impact the law abiding people that are of good character and sound mind. Criminals don’t care about any of these bills. I bet not one criminal has lost any sleep over this or have even read any of the proposed bills.
Agreed 100%. The intent of this law is not to reduce crime, it’s to fvck with legal gun owners. Just leftist virtue signaling.Not one person that is on the opposite side of the law gives a wet fart about any of this. It will do nothing to curb violence in this state.
