Nguyen v. Bonta, No. 24-2035, Doc. 54 (9th Cir.)
(Feature Image is Raymond M. DiGuiseppe, who argued the case before the Ninth Circuit merits panel) This was a big case with all the big names involved. We had Chuck Michel and Anna Barvir from Michel & Associates PC. If there is a Second Amendment case happening in California, they are likely to be there.…

My Part is Done
I’m sure you all are tired of reading about my vehicle troubles. I’m sure this won’t be the last post about it. Base problem, the truck is 15 years old. It was given a new frame, but it is starting to age out. Major safety issues: Right front wheel bearing is bad Left front wheel…

50% done is half ass
This is filler as I’ve not looked at the news nor anything else on Friday. As I’m writing this at 1830 on Friday, my hands are almost as grease covered as the worker’s hands in the image. I’ve been up since 0700 and have been at work on the Truck since 0930. First stop, the…

Friday Feedback
Netting 2.5 nets completed. The first net will be used to practice repairs because I made a few mistakes. The fix? Cut the bad part out and tie in a new section. Easy. The second net had no glaring errors. Mostly knots that did not get set perfectly and using a sheet-bend to tie on…

What Do I Do First?
Lumber has become expensive. A couple of 4x4s, some 2x4s and a 2×10, and I’m looking at painful amounts of money. Ouch. Which brings us to working to a goal: This cabinet will be knocked down and flat packed. We want this for events. All in all, it looks nice and will perform the functions…

My Dicta Good, Your Dicta Bad
Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. … courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose. This bit of text is quoted in almost every case where the state is defending their…

The Red Cloak Is Not Cosplay But a Fashion Freudian Slip
The title is from Miguel. I’ve written about “Black Fatigue”, a physiological condition of being done with “that” shit. It is that entire situation where I have gone from a person who doesn’t see skin color to somebody that treats it as a threat indicator, every time. I’m old, I’m tired of this game. I’m…

Barnett v. Raoul, 24-3060 7th cir
The state has stepped up and opened their mouth in an Amicus brief in (not a good cite). The gist of the case is that the state of Illinois had a Bruen tantrum and created a new assault weapon and magazine ban. Now the United States DoJ is sticking their oar in the water. Ugh.…

When the world comes to you
Israel is in the process of turning Iran into an ashtray, like Jimmy Carter, may he burn forever in hell, should have in 1979. Unfortunately for Israel, they have to do it with conventional weapons. The normal blood vultures are out in force, screaming about Israel is killing babies. Unfortunately for us, this raises the…

Complex Systems
My internal infrastructure is getting better and better. Unfortunately, it is still not stable enough. The router is having issues with memory. I need to add more memory to fix the issues. The problem being that I need to take the router out of production to do so. I’ve not been willing to do that.…
