In Delaware, the knife laws kinda suck:
Here in Delaware we can’t own anything but an ordinary folder. If it’s assisted opening it’s illegal to own, much less carry. We’re also limited to a 3 inch blade length when carrying folders.
The WaPo has an article on Woollard:
“I think that what’s going to happen now is, we’re going to start to test where these boundaries lie in what is a ‘reasonable’ and an ‘unreasonable’ regulation,” said Dave Workman, a spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation, which is challenging similar discretionary regulations in New York and North Carolina.
Seen at James Rummel’s: Do you often or ever carry both?
About the only time I carry two guns is if I am open carrying at least one gun.
Fluctuation: Some popular firearms like the AR-15 are now selling for up to $600 less than they did at the start of 2009.
Forget tactical underwear. What about underwear that you can stash a a 2 liter in?
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) today filed a lawsuit in federal court against the City of Chicago’s new gun ordinance, asserting that “by banning gun ranges open to the public…under color of law,” the city is depriving citizens of their right to keep and bear arms in violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Joining SAF in this lawsuit are the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA), Action Target, Inc., and three individual plaintiffs including a retired Chicago police detective. They are represented by attorneys Alan Gura of Virginia and David Sigale of Chicago, who teamed up with SAF and ISRA on the landmark case of McDonald v. City of Chicago, which incorporated the Second Amendment to the states, effectively striking down Chicago’s 28-year-old handgun ban.
A round up by John Richardson. The cases are interesting. The responses in the NC emergency powers cases are amusing. The locals say state law isn’t their fault. The state says there’s no claim for relief to be granted. I’m no lawyer, but it sounds like a standing issue. I thought it interesting since, basically, most folks think that was the low-hanging fruit.
And in Chicago, the laws enacted to comply with McDonald are being challenged. Good.

Fareed Zakaria on the ground zero mosque:
If this community center were being built anywhere else in the world, chances are the US government would be funding it.
Dennis Henigan on gun safety: Guns are bad, mmmkay.
It is amusing to me how little our opponents know about what we do and what we know and teach. Yet we seem to understand them pretty well.
Internet gun videos tend to be littered with idiots, bad gun handling, and bad range habits. But this one doesn’t:
Hat tip to everyone.
Amazing: There are 70 Congressional Democrats that are members of the Socialist Party.
Robb on sales tax holidays:
Imagine how much of a boost to the economy you could do if you started cutting taxes nation wide.
So, you can get the same savings a few days per year and have to leave your house.
The U.S. government opposed South Korea’s bid to sell hundreds of thousands of aging U.S. combat rifles to American gun collectors, a senior government official said Thursday.
The ministry announced the plan last September as part of efforts to boost its defense budget, saying the export of the M1 Garand and carbine rifles would start by the end of 2009.
The U.S. administration put the brakes on the plan, citing “problems” that could be caused by the importation of the rifles.
The problems the U.S. government cited were somewhat ambiguous, said an official at the Ministry of National Defense on condition of anonymity.
“The U.S. insisted that imports of the aging rifles could cause problems such as firearm accidents. It was also worried the weapons could be smuggled to terrorists, gangs or other people with bad intentions,” the official told The Korea Times.
Perfectly good rifles that people want to buy. But the administration says no. Such a waste.
