It has been a busy week for me. I’m still reading legal filings, but it is harder and harder to write about them. The state says the same thing, over and over again. The courts keep looking for ways to avoid doing the right thing. It reminds me so much of the aftermath of Heller.…

(1250 words) This is another example of the state twisting and bending to have a small chance of winning. Given that the appeal is to the Ninth Circuit, they will get the stay they are requesting. In 1999, California passed a “one gun per month” or OGM law. It is actually difficult to track because…

Your state Supreme Court hates you and cheats. Monday evening, PST, the trial court enjoined the unconstitutional magazine ban. As the judge wrote, you don’t use a magazine to spread butter, it is an arm. The 2A community jumped into action. Since it was after hours, LGS (Local Gun Stores) opened up and the people…

New Hampshire got a little more snow and ice yesterday and today. We were prepared for it, no big deal. I was preparing to go to bed, doing that final sit of the day before showering, when the power went out. Grump. Finished in the dark. Turned the flashlight on, pointed it at the ceiling,…

My wife is a teacher. She has been teaching for over 40 years now. When we were in Maryland, she taught at two different schools. One a rural school and one in Baltimore. While she received extensive support from her admin while at the rural school, not so much in the Baltimore school. Her most…

(1000 Words) This is the butterfly knife ban. The People won at the Ninth Circuit court of appeals merits panel. Of course, the Ninth Circuit couldn’t let a win for the 2nd stand, so they are rehearing the case en banc the week of June 24th. This takes us to the standard filing of briefs…
