      Decision in Kolbe!

      I like how Vinnie DeMarco was on the air this morning talking about how this ruling doesn't impact the HQL. Of course it doesn't Vinnie, that's an entirely different court case. For what you get paid, you should at least be able to keep that straight. I really like how this is playing out...

      Decision in Kolbe!

      Nothing is overturned at this point. All this ruling is is an order for the district to re-evaluate the case based on strict scrutiny instead of the much more lax intermediate scrutiny. Basically, the state has to actually prove their case now instead of just waving their hands and saying...

      Decision in Kolbe!

      Right, the HQL was the subject of the other pending lawsuit. A very prudent, albeit expensive, move.

      Decision in Kolbe!

      I was one of the guests. My browser had logged me out.... Also, this is amazing news. This ruling doesn't change anything for us now and the law still stands, but the 4th pretty clearly laid out how strict scrutiny applies to the 2nd Amendment, and that is precedent for all future Maryland...

      Where is Hogan on G&S reform????

      It's not so much a matter of "force of law" as it is a clarification of existing law. If Hogan acted against it and someone took him to court over it, the AG decision would likely hold great sway with the judge.

      Where is Hogan on G&S reform????

      This is precisely why I took a little MDS break. Do you know what we call officials in the executive branch who ignore the finding of their attorneys general and do what they please because they find those rulings to be BS? Dictators. Larry Hogan is a Republican Governor working in a...

      Where is Hogan on G&S reform????

      Man, I can tell it's been a while since I've posted here. I kept trying to "like' certain posts. :innocent0 Bottom line is this: The approach everyone, including myself, hoped Hogan would take (i.e. instructing MSP to allow self defense as G&S without the current arbitrary supporting paperwork)...

      Feedback posted by Hopalong on Tihsho

      Izhmash model IZH18 Shotgun Messaged the seller per his instructions on his ad and he responded extremely quickly! We were able to come down to an agreed price instantly. He was also nice enough to meet the next day at a neutral location and provide a copy of the bill of sale, a waiver and his...

      Project Fast and Furious Thread

      And the very next day, Eric Holder announces his resignation, pending the appointment of a replacement. Coincidence?

      VICTORY IN PALMER!!!!

      This is fabulous news. This case has "The New Heller" written all over it, and the language used in the ruling indicates that Judge Sculin is aware of its significance. As much as I am excited by the news of the ruling in Palmer, it has reaffirmed my long-standing belief that Maryland will be...

      Gun prosecutions plummet under Obama

      This probably isn't something cause by an Obama policy. The downward trend started in '04, right in the middle of W. Bush's presidency. Whatever happened to start the trend started there. However, Obama is on the hook for not cracking down on illegal gun sales like he's promised to again and...

      Daily Kos: Getting Trolled, or Trolling Us?

      Take a minute and read this short article on Georgia's new gun laws in the Daily Kos. Pay particular attention to the image at the top. Does anyone else notice anything unusual about the firearms pictured (aside from the fact that they seem to be plastic action-figure guns instead of real...

      Stripped lowers legal?

      You are correct, and I see Frosh issuing that very opinion having that very impact as soon as he takes office. This is the short-term picture. As much as Frosh would like it, an AG's opinion cannot change the text of the law, and, as long as the law remains as-written, I think the issue is...

      Larry Hogan "supports" the second amendment...

      Thank you for clarifying.
