      Tennessee law combatting "gun free zone" businesses

      Slow your roll, guys. The new TN law does *not* create liability for property owners who post as gun-free zones. That was the original bill. There was an amendment that pretty much completely changed the character. What went into effect was a *civil liability shield* for property owners that...

      Filed Machine Gun Challenge 5th Circuit Opening Brief Hollis v. Holder

      I hate to step on Wolfwood's toes, but we have a 5th Circuit opinion in Hollis. 5th Circuit opines that machine guns are dangerous and unusual, not protected by the 2A. Opinion here: http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/15/15-10803-CV0.pdf

      ATF Notice of Publishing Error, re: green tip ammo

      I'll be "that guy." If you look at the actual 2014 regs guide, the entire "exemptions" section was taken out/left out, not just XM855. .30-06 M2AP was in the last edition, but not this one, and the ATF letter specifically says they're keeping it on the "exempt" list.

      Suarez vs Holder

      Yeah. This is a guy who was prohibited due to a misdemeanor "unlicensed carry" conviction (30 days - 3 years) 25 years ago. He got a suspended sentence of 180 days and did a year of probation, but because the crime was "punishable by" 3 years he got prohibited. He has since kept his nose...

      ATF looking to reclassify projectiles

      I'm not exactly sure - some of the pages I've seen say that only fully assembled M855 was given the "sporting use" exemption, not the bullet itself, but the ATF notice says they intend to reclassify "constituent projectiles" from M855, and prohibit manufacture of "such ammunition." Then again...

      ATF looking to reclassify projectiles

      It doesn't say "for a manufacturer to," it says "for any person to manufacture." "Manufacturer" means a licensed manufacturer, per 921, but "person" includes "any individual." Here's the specific piece of 922(a)(7): And then it lists a couple of exemptions - manufacturing for export, or...

      ATF looking to reclassify projectiles

      IIRC, the law bans "manufacture" of AP ammo by any "person." So if M855 is classified as AP, then no, you wouldn't be able to legally "roll your own." EDIT to avoid a double-post: Does anybody have a link or source to an official cutaway for M855 showing the lead/steel difference? I'd like to...

      ATF looking to reclassify projectiles

      I'd argue that RIFs aren't the way to scale back overreach, but repealing/re-writing regulation. From my perspective, what I do and don't do when dealing with the regs isn't driven by how many people work at <Agency>, but by what GC says is within the letter of the reg itself. For example, if...

      ATF looking to reclassify projectiles

      I guess it's that nebulous "projectile core" that's the problem? They had that to start with under current reg. They're just defining "sporting use" to be "single shot or rimfire" rather than playing it by ear on a case-by-case basis. After reading the letter, this is really a giant F-U...

      ATF looking to reclassify projectiles

      Alright, so a question. Here's the text of 18 USC 921(a)(17): By my reading of the regs, 921(A)(17)(C) doesn't come into play unless the round in question fits the definition at (17)(B)(i) or (ii), because (C) is an exception to (B). Since M855 doesn't, as far as I can tell, fit (17)(B)...

      ACLU dipping a toe in the 2A fight

      The national level ACLU is very uncomfortable with the 2A. Apparently a HUGE chunk of their funding comes from lib/prog donors who lean anti-RKBA, so they're afraid if they take explicitly pro-2A stances, the cash will dry up and they'll have to fold. The public stance is that they thought...

      Moms Desperate for Attention pickets Harris Teeter

      He can't now, otherwise they'll be forced to admit they're an astroturf org started and run by a paid PR shill. Plus it's not like he's low on cash. He's loaded enough that he could pay "Watts" six figures a year for the rest of her life and not even notice.

      TSA-finds record number of firearms in carryons.

      Oh, no doubt personal responsibility is key, I was just explaining how it could happen, seeing as CCWers are normally even more law-abiding than the general public. As far as who gets a pass and who doesn't, I'd assume it's the same kind of decision a cop goes through when he decides to write a...

      TSA-finds record number of firearms in carryons.

      I had this conversation somewhere (Reddit maybe?) a while back. The article we were discussing talked about people forgetting they had the gun, and the other guy was saying that's ********, how do you now know you're carrying a gun. My point was that there are a lot of people out there in free...

      Kolbe v O'Malley being Appealed to CA4

      I think it's right for a random draw. First set is "all three are R appointees" and second set is "2Rs and 1D." The declining denominator in the two sets shows the "section without replacement."

      Push for new Surgeon General

      I'm not a parliamentarian, but the articles I've read suggest that Cruz denied a consent motion to adjourn in an attempt to push and amendment or something on immigration, which put the Senate into an extra day even though whatever Cruz was trying to do failed. Then Reid used some procedure...
