Supreme Court rejects gun rights appeal

[Muleskinner]

Same thing is going to happen to the Maryland HQL lawsuit and maybe the weapons ban suit as well..The court won't touch em..watch..

So I should be able to open carry my tiny little Beretta Pico since it won't scare anyone ;-)

Fine by me. But, then, I'm neither a woman nor a child and not easily scared by inanimate gizmos.

I see someone understands the concepts.

Just a lucky guess.

More than 40 states already broadly allow gun owners to be armed in public.

So very possible Kolbe will not be heard either.

Just put the whole issue off for a while. There's a couple "Progressives" who are well past their expiration date.

Scalia often referred to 18th Century "Frighting" laws as the historical template for his belief that the Second Amendment was not absolute. These misdemeanors were enacted to prohibit the [open] carrying of really scary weapons like big axes or sieves that might scare women and children on the streets.

The issue with this is that basing a law on something as subjective as being frightened just doesn't work. Lots of people today would be frightened by BB guns. Plenty are frightened by a run-of-the-mill free floated AR or a tactical shotgun. God forbid you have a bullpup or an AK variant.

The thugs love Maryland or any place where they know citizens are very limited on how they can protect themselves from a gun threat. We need to level the playing field to protect ourselves. Maryland needs to become a shall issue state and crime would drop.

Just wondering how people feel about Tasers and the less lethal approach to individual protection? I have been thinking about this and the criminals don't carry tasers so it seems like a bad idea in general, but would be helpful in certain situations when less lethal makes sense.

Something is better than nothing.

Check out the Kimber Pepperblaster II. I used one to stop an attempted murder in 2014. It's very effective and easily concealed.
