Accessories and ammo are two different things. Kind of like selling a motorcycle with a helmet and extra gas. Be prepared to take a loss on the accessories, but you shouldn't have to take much of a loss on the ammo (assuming it is still in the factory boxes). If you have enough ammo, you...

I'm interested in learning more about how much revenue various states earn by issuing CCW permits. I recall seeing that the CCW permit was a cash cow for Florida, but I haven't been able to find any reputable sources. Can anyone point me towards any newspaper articles or other reliable...

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I might have to be the guinea pig to try this stuff out.

Samco has Finnish surplus ammo, manufactured in 1981, in 9mm Browning short ball (aka 380 auto) for a good deal. It is 95 grains in brass cases. You can see it here: http://www.samcoglobal.com/Ammunition.html I was thinking of getting some for a Ruger LCP for practice ammo. Any opinions...

The ruling doesn't cover more of those issues because at best it would carry no force, and at worst would be viewed as unconstitutional. SCOTUS is not the legislature, they can only decide cases and controversies.

No offense, but I think you are dead wrong. Page 19 of the opinion: I believe you are ignoring the trend. Look at the past 10 years. The AWB died, more states have enacted CCW, more states have enacted castle-doctrine, states have enacted laws banning gun confiscation during...

Based on earlier comments, I have a thought on the 2nd amendment being a "right to self-defense" versus the 2nd amendment being a "right to prevent a tyrannical government." Perhaps Scalia worded his opinion to emphasize the right to self-defense in order to make the incorporation fight...

The court didn't state a level of scrutiny because they didn't have to. The case was a lot closer than any of us thought it would be, and I think Scalia kept it narrow to get Kennedy's vote. I think the 2nd amendment will almost certainly get strict scrutiny because it is an easy argument...

I think Jeff's analysis was right on. The decision was much closer than any of us thought it would be. I think Scalia had to put in the machine gun phrase to get Kennedy's vote. However, as many have noted, it is a weak argument, in dicta, which means it can easily be rebutted in a future...

Good for you for remembering something you learned in college. I've forgotten most of what I learned. However, you did forget one thing. "Last clear chance" applies in negligence actions, not criminal. See the legal dictionary at findlaw for an explanation. All of my comments below...

This email came out from the NRA yesterday: Here is a copy of the letter I sent to Senator Taylor. I also sent the same letter to each of the other Senators who serve on the committee. Any help from The High Road in the form of letters to these Senators is much appreciated!

From drudgereport.com front page - links to: http://www.kxmb.com/News/Nation/209747.asp Very nice to see this sort of article on the front page of a major news outlet.

Yes vote from me. 29 for our side, 2 against.

The real question is whether YOU could find all your guns in all that junk. No way anyone else could.

You are right, the letter is not an order. The Senators are asking for a change. No individual Senator has the authority to order it. Congress as a whole does possess the authority to order it. They can vote to pass a bill and have the POTUS sign it, and if he won't sign it then they can...

Glad it went well for you. Hope you gave your friends some refreshments.

It sounds like a reply from a politician who likes to say that he supports the second amendment, while he doesn't really support it (Note - I do not know the record of this Senator, this comment is based on the OP's letter and nothing else). I disagree that the states are "overriding"...

Just voted - the poll is looking good for our side.

How does the number of entrances relate to how effective the overall security is? Logic tells me that 1 entrance that is poorly guarded is less secure than 100 entrances that are all heavily guarded. Again, I have no expertise in security. My thought process is that I don't know, so I'm going...

I'll play ball, but agree that this thread has probably run its course. I would carry in Disneyworld (I say would because I have never been there) due to a lack of information. I have no way of knowing how well protected Disney's entrances are, I have no way of knowing how well trained...
