MSI beats Mo Co

[dblas]

Thank you Mark, MSI, and all involved.

Will this law only be enjoined for plaintiffs or all people?

All.

LOL!

I'm really trying not make a "The Full Monty" joke.

Thank you Mark, MSI, and all involved.

The declaratory relief that will be issued in the case will effectively declare the County law to be illegal. The County should not enforce an illegal law against anyone. And I doubt that they will try.

I see MSI was removed as a plaintiff due to “lack of standing” with a reference to Voters Organized for the Integrity of City Elections v. Baltimore City Elections Board.

Could a lawyer or legal beagle explain why MSI didn’t have standing?

 

[Boxcab]

Great news! Good job MSI.

Will the costs of litigation be repaid to MSI by the county? (Once finalized)

I don't understand when the costs can be recouped on these cases.

The preemption went away years ago via a court's decision. A search of the statutes still finds the law on the books, but it takes a deeper dive to find the court decision that nullified the statute. PSA and others are maybe too lazy to do that level of analysis to understand our "law" is null and void. Why would PSA bear the cost and do the legal work to figure out the laws of a county of one million people...one-third of one percent of the US population?

PSA was given the legal information regarding the nullification, as well as a letter from NRA-ILA verifying the fact.

Why wouldn't they put a few hours of legal time to verify this?

Furthermore, I had previously rec'd any number of ammo shipments in MoCo, long after the nullification was put into effect, from PSA. They suddenly decided they were in violation of a non-existent law, and preferred to cancel customers instead of investigating.

The cost of a stamp and the time to write the MD AG might have resolved the issue, for all I know; I don't see that they cared enough to bother, and that bothers me, so I no longer bother with them.

I still take the time to expound on the subject, when it arises from time to time, because I take these issues seriously.

I take it serious;y as well, though I think that PSA knows, as a potential market (they're not here to fight for anyone's rights), we're a flea on the dog's tail

Already a member, but feeling like MSI is a stripper and I need to throw money at her

This is the way.

It's my mission to bite'em on the arse, apparently. Hope it itches.

Damn autocorrect

I hope the plaintiffs that are businesses don’t get screwed with by the county when it comes time to renew their licenses or become subject to increased inspections. Montgomery County may try and punish them in other ways like they did Silverado Productions.

 

[Blackbeard]

Excellent work!

What‘s the likelihood of a stay pending appeal being granted?

That would keep the law in effect for now and while going through appeal correct?

 

[babalou]

What got tossed was everything in conflict with or inconsistent with State law, and that includes the restrictions placed on carry by permit holders along with the County's separate bans on privately made firearms. It's a huge win.

If you aren't a member of MSI, why not?

well i carried anyway. eff them

I would say pretty low, the judge covered it pretty well. Well enough that some county lawyer is saying dont appeal it. They will anyways because it costs them nothing to do it. The next court is a state level court and I would bet even though the court is probably anti, the state does not really like the counties stepping on their toes.

State preemption nullified that law long ago

Nullified , but still on the books .
