    The Chicago v Glock lawsuit

    Merciful heavens, that's not a pleading, that's a press release/short story. It is also an excellent argument for limiting the page count for a document intended to concisely state a cause of action and the relief requested. Some might also argue that it is jury tampering. The complaint cites...

    We don't prohibit pipe dream polls expressly, but further disrespectful comments may force this one into early retirement.

    I do not understand this, rogue judge?

    This thread is about a specific opinion. The title of the thread is ironic at best, because this court made a specific effort to follow the Bruen precedent. This is a trial court opinion that is not precedent and may very well be appealed, so righteous indignation for any reason is premature...

    Cougar kills young man in California

    Lions have their fan club. Mostly these are people who have never been stalked or watched one repeatedly follow cow elk to feast on newborn elk calf as it emerges. They are usually smart enough to avoid humans, but if starved all bets are off. I have no interest in killing one of the ratty...

    GOA gets VA Veteran Gun Ban repealed.

    Bureaucracies favor shortcuts, politicians back doors, and interest groups raise money by raising awareness. All of these factors affect what we are told, and I think we all realize that. What I have read about this issue was that the mere fact that a 3d party or protective payee was in place...

    I do not understand this, rogue judge?

    The opinion was issued by the US District Court. The state could have prosecuted first, but were likely hoping the feds would convict on the USC 922 charge so state would not have to spend the resources to try and possibly incarcerate. So much for that strategy. Feds can appeal, or toss the ball...

    I do not understand this, rogue judge?

    I am encouraged by the court's following precedent and rulings on similar situations. This court had previously denied motions to dismiss, but upon a request for reconsideration took notice of other recent rulings and applied the Bruen criteria. It would have been simple to reiterate prior...

    What did you shoot today?

    Function tested the HuntSafe Savage Mk II that stopped extracting empties midway through the field day with the kids. No bueno! The combination of thunderbolt bulk ammo (state contract) and unfortunate extractor design, coupled with lots of crud and likely marginal maintenance made it necessary...

    Thinking about a RIA 22 AR style.

    I realize the decision has been made but I believe you made the right call. I watched a you tube video of disassembly and my impression was that it was made to be inexpensive. I have a couple other RIA guns and they are fine, but occasionally RIA can't seem to find the handle. Their 22 TCM...

    No knock warrant?

    This relates to laws governing sales of firearms, and their relation to enforcement and claimed activities based upon the affidavit for search warrant. If you have relevant information, you can participate. If you just want to vent, please do that elsewhere. Thanks.

    No knock warrant?

    First of all, a note that the court was requested to seal the file. If an order was entered to that effect, release may be in violation of the court's order. There is a box near the bottom of the warrant which authorizes delayed notice, ie entry before providing a copy of the warrant. That box...

    FN sues Ruger over trademark infringement

    Well, they are both SCARY to some folks. As a practical matter, there is usually a lot more going on that we know about. A trademark holder must defend its trademark in order to protect any IP value it has, so sends out cease and desist demands. This happens frequently. If those are opposed or...

    ATF Raid on Airport Exec in Ark, 2 Wounded, 3/19/24

    Death has been confirmed. Not many other details available yet. Closing again to avoid speculation. If we have significant information at some future date, this can be reopened.

    Who scopes their .22s?

    The only 22 I own that doesn't wear a scope is a CZ452 full stock. Factory iron sights are decent, and the hog back butt isn't scope friendly.
