There are a lot of moving parts to the new law so it will be interesting to see how it goes: http://directives.chicagopolice.org/directives/data/a7a57bf0-13fc5603-92613-fc59-b4c8c0aba767ee8c.html?hl=true All in all, though, is it any more draconian than other restrictive states' laws...

I'm interested in one specific aspect of the purchase of a handgun in the state of PA by a non-resident alien. My friend has been transferred from his native country in Europe to the States by his company and will be here for a number of years in this assignment. He has an interest in shooting...

Given the perception of NY, particularly of the City, with respect to firearms, I thought this an interesting report of a home invasion in which the suspect was shot by the homeowner with a licensed handgun: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2010/09/15/brooklyn-man-shoots-home-invader/ The...

Sometimes people post about this jokingly, but when it happens it's no joke. Even if the suit fails, the defendant will have incurred the costs of defense and time. Citizen's arrests lack the limited immunity that covers the police so a criminal can always take a shot (no pun intended) and...

"...The majority of seized weapons were reported stolen from the same places, states known as "hot spots" for illicit guns, including Virginia, Pennsylvania and North and South Carolina." The underlining is mine. What does one have to do with another? The guns were either stolen, a crime in...

In a case that will fly in the face of Heller if Heller is applied to the states, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court yesterday upheld a state law requiring trigger locks on guns kept in people’s homes...

I ran across this article by chance. The government mechanism that could potentially be used to regulate a nationwide recreational activity caught my eye: http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/saltwater/news/story?id=4975762 The article discusses the possibility that the president, by...

I don't have the actual cite to yesterday's ruling. The following was taken from a NJ Law Journal daily news alert. The underlining is mine. This decision continues the trend in NJ to pay lip service to, but then disregard, due process, all consistent with Lautenberg. PREVENTION OF...

http://www.vqronline.org/webexclusive/2009/11/19/motlagh-mumbai-attacks/ The article seemed too long to reproduce here. It is a detailed account of specific portions of the Mumbai attacks. Some quick lessons learned: when not "on alert," as most people are most of the time, they don't...

http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE59E0Q920091015 I didn't see anything recently on this after an admittedly very brief search. The subject of tying the US to an international treaty that would regulate arms sales, with the potential to affect sales of small arms to...

Worried about the "gun show loophole" again, using taxpayer money to police the country: http://www.1010wins.com/NYC-Undercover-Stings-Expose--Gun-Show-Loophole-/5384709 Pathetic article. Fails to mention that it is already illegal to purchase a gun when ineligible or as a straw purchase...

Somewhat misleading in that the article doesn't mention the large percentage of firearms that are not submitted to the US for tracing, or the large percentage that are stolen from the Mexican military and police. However, the bigger question, to me, anyway, is what power do the Feds have to...

now that this is almost law: http://www.1010wins.com/Handgun-Sales-Measure-Headed-to-N-J--Governor-s-De/4688934 Posted: Saturday, 27 June 2009 4:58PM Handgun Sales Measure Headed to N.J. Governor's Desk TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey may soon become the fourth state with a...

http://www.newsmax.com/us/illegal_guns/2008/12/05/158848.html Who knows whether these numbers are any good or whether this is more lies with statistics from this unbiased, totally objective group of mayors? Regardless, it is sure to be used by them as more evidence for the new regime that...
