Wyoming approves concealed firearm without license
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Law, News on 8/Mar/2011 23:33
“An important step was taken yesterday in Wyoming toward restoring the constitutionally protected right of Americans to keep and bear arms, as that state became the second in less than a year to enact legislation affirming the right of its citizens to carry a concealed firearm without a special government-issued license. Following adoption in the state Senate, the vote of the House in the Wyoming legislature approved the bill by a vote of 48–8 several weeks ago, and Gov. Matt Mead signed it into law on March 3.
The right to carry a concealed firearm without a special license issued by the state is often referred to as “constitutional carry.†Wyoming is now the fourth state in the Union that recognizes constitutional carry, joining Alaska, Arizona, and Vermont.
Similar bills are pending in states including Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Utah. A bill has been introduced in Kentucky but hasn’t advanced while another was introduced for discussion in Idaho.â€

LA police chief supports ban on big ammo magazines
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Law, News on 2/Mar/2011 14:57
L.A. Police Chief Charlie Beck
LOS ANGELES — “The city’s police chief on Wednesday endorsed a proposed federal ban on the sale of high-capacity ammunition magazines that have been used in mass shootings.
If passed, the ban would prohibit the sale or transfer of any magazine that holds more than 10 rounds, though possession of magazines legally purchased before the ban’s start date would be allowed.
“There is no reason that a peaceful society based on rule of law needs its citizenry armed with 30-round magazines,” Police Chief Charlie Beck said at a news conference, adding that the clips transform a gun “into a weapon of mass death rather than a home-protection-type device.”

Brady Center Files Brief in DC Gun Ban Case
This struggle will never be over. We must remain vigilant and proactive. They love to say that “national law enforcement organizations” agree with their 2nd Amendment stance.
Press Release
Brady Center Urges Federal Appeals Court to Uphold New DC Gun Law
Sep 20, 2010
Washington, D.C. – The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, joined by national law enforcement organizations, filed an amicus brief today in federal appeals court in Washington arguing that the District of Columbia’s new gun laws are constitutional.
Dick Heller, the same person who successfully challenged the District’s handgun ban in the U.S. Supreme Court, is seeking to have the court strike down District’s new gun laws. These new laws were enacted to conform with the Supreme Court’s 2008 decision in District of Columbia v. Heller. Although the District’s new laws allow Mr. Heller to have a handgun in his home for self defense (pursuant to the ruling by the Supreme Court), he is claiming that the Second Amendment does not permit the District to prohibit military-style assault weapons, or require proficiency testing, registration and licensing, or to limit his handgun registrations to one per month. These gun laws withstood a constitutional challenge by Mr. Heller in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Mr. Heller then appealed the court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Coalition for Gun Control president Wendy Cukier
“One third of all guns in the world are in the U.S. And half the guns used to commit crimes in Canada come from south of the border. So yes, this country needs and wants an International Arms Treaty.†Coalition for Gun Control president Wendy Cukier
“James Sheptycki described what he termed “pistolization†to describe the social phenomenon of the gun as an everyday item.â€

How to Disarm America
Posted by Gary in Law, News, Opinion, Threat Watch on 16/Mar/2010 13:26
This from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette is an oldie but goody. I like to trot this one out from time to time when people ask me “why so much politics”, “Why do you feel the need to post and re-post every little political blurb about guns and the Constitution“? There is even a pretty good gun website where right on the home page banner it says ” No Politics, Just Guns”. Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to worry about our freedoms? But if that was the case we wouldn’t need Sheepdogs or Warriors. I could spend a lot more time drinking Scotch and smoking cigars and less time scouring the Internet and Old Media looking for the next threat vector. Until that day, we remain as always. Now here from 2007:
Disarm America? Here’s howWe’re swamped with guns, but if we want to get rid of them, there is a way to do itSunday, April 29, 2007The tragedy at Virginia Tech, with a mentally disturbed person gunning down 32 of America’s finest — intelligent working people with futures ahead of them — puts once again into focus for Americans the phenomenon of an armed society.
Dan Simpson, a retired U.S. ambassador, is a Post-Gazette associate editor (dsimpson@post-gazette.com). The likely underestimate of how many guns are wandering around America runs at 240 million in a population of about 300 million. What was clear at Virginia Tech is that at least two of those guns were in the wrong hands.When people talk about doing something about guns in America, one of the points that comes to the fore is, “How could America disarm even if it wanted to? There are so many guns out there.” Today I want to address the question of “how” — if we decided to. Since I have little or no power to influence the “if” part of the issue, I will stick with “how.” Read the rest of this entry »
SD Gov Signs Firearms Freedom Act into Law
From: Dakota Voice
The South Dakota Legislature recently passed SB 89 which declares “exempt from federal regulation any firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition manufactured and retained in South Dakota.â€Now, a little more than a week later, South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds has signed the bill into law.
The bill is the latest of many crafted in states across the country in the last year which re-assert the Tenth Amendment rights of the states which have been carelessly trampled by the federal government for decades.
More on Starbucks Gun Policy
From: The Mercury News in Silicon Valley
Starbucks has brushed aside a request from a gun control advocacy group to ban the display of guns in its retail locations, saying it will abide by laws that allow patrons to openly carry unloaded weapons.
…The head of a local chapter of the Brady Campaign was disappointed by the response.
…The Brady Campaign has sent e-mails to its approximately 180,000 members nationwide suggesting that they e-mail Starbucks asking the coffee giant to create an anti-gun policy.
…”We definitely applaud Starbucks for allowing law-abiding citizens to defend themselves and we will continue to patronize them as long as they do,” said Brad Huffman, who is also a National Rifle Association-certified instructor and member of Bay Area Open Carry, which lists 610 members on its Facebook page.
Testing open carry laws at Starbucks
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Law, News on 1/Mar/2010 20:05
“Even in some “open carry†states, businesses are allowed to ban guns in their stores. And some have, creating political confrontations with gun owners. But Starbucks has refused to take the bait, saying in a statement this month that it follows state and local laws and has its own safety measures in its stores.”
