This case has nothing to do with the 2A or with the constitutionality of the Lautenberg amendment. It is simply a case involving the statutory interpretation of the language used in the Lautenberg amendment and the applicable TN statute. In short, the case involves whether the crime that the...

That is a wideespread belief right now, but I respectfully disagree. There is no exception for nonresident vehicle carry in the UUW statute. Before you risk a felony, I'd advise you to consult an attorney if you plan to do this.

SCOTUS has a lot on its plate. I highly doubt that a case in which a cert petition has not even been filed yet is even on SCOTUS's radar. They get hundreds of motions every month and this was just as routine of a matter as in any other case.

Here is the response from Shepard in opposition to Lisa Madigan's request for an additional 30 days. It's a very good read. Enjoy.

The plaintiffs filed a response this morning to Lisa Madigan's request for an additional 30 days to the stay of the mandate. I have attached that response.

We go over the cliff, at least temporarily.

Double that amount for me because I'll be paying for my wife as well. Unfortunately, the State doesn't offer a family plan discount. Edit: Just saw that Trent pointed out this same thing first.

Very disappointing. The anti-gun crowd as well as judges will be emboldened to pass and uphold stricter and stricter gun control laws by this denial.

Yes, the federal government likely has the power to do this under the Commerce Clause.

Probably not. But a 0.02 BAC for a nondrinker like you would probably have a stronger effect on you than it would with a more frequent drinker.

Wearing a bulletproof vest would decrease the risk of being killed by a gunshot wound, but most people do not wear a vest out in public 24/7 because the discomfort and hassle outweigh the perceived reduction in risk, even though you never know when you might need a bullet proof vest. It's all...

I agree with you. It is odd to me that a person who enjoys occasionally drinking would give up drinking altogether just so that they will never be disarmed. If you really want to live, you've got to take some risks in life. You can hole up in the safe room of your house your whole life and...

As others have mentioned, it's not likely we will ever get the whole truth regarding this situation. Because there is no criminal defendant, there is no criminal defense attorney working as a counter-balance to law enforcement to ensure that the investigation is done properly and the truth is...
