Firearms Law & the Second Amendment; Regulation, Rights, and Policy

A law school case book by some people you might know.

Ron Paul wins in Minnesota. Heh.

Caseless Ammo

Looks like the Army and the Marines are looking into it again as a weight saving measure.

Licensing

You know, if someone’s job is to get naked in front of people, it seems pretty straightforward. I, wanting to see that person naked walk up and offer my money and in exchange, they get naked. Apparently, this requires a state license:

The dancers and the club manager were arrested for doing business without a license. Sellers said dancers are licensed to work at a specific club, and these dancers were not licensed for the Black Magic Club. “A lot of these places bring dancers in from outside of Birmingham,” Sellers said.

And you need a license per location. As someone who has license or two, they’re getting pointless. The licenses used to act as a check that someone has met certain qualifications in technical field or vocation (accountants, hairdresser, etc.). Now they act as revenue measures and a sort of punishment.

Gun Ban Lobbyists On City Payroll

Looks cities around the nation are paying Mayors Against Guns coordinators salaries:

So, Linda S. Vaughn is paid a salary of at least $60,000 per year by the City of Orlando using grant funds provided by the Chicago based Joyce Foundation in collusion with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns. She also receives city medical, dental and leave accrual benefits at taxpayer expense. Her authorized pay range tops out at $228,113.60 for this job annually.

And if Linda sounds familiar to you, she should.

Special laws for special people

The Examiner:

Lawmakers are scrambling to save the summer concert season from federal agents poised to seize the instruments of rock and country stars because the wood used to make them may have been illegally harvested–and without their knowledge.

“I don’t want the musicians from Nashville who are flying to Canada to perform this summer to worry about the government seizing their guitars,” said Tennessee Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander.

Alexander, whose state is home to famed Gibson Guitars used by bands and stars like Van Halen, the Allman Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Ted Nugent and Paul McCartney, said Friday that he and Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden are working to protect the artists, their instruments and makers and eventually change the law governing illegal wood harvesting.

Everyone else who have such a guitar, too bad.

Right here. But he’s cool with it since the burglar was doing it in furtherance of economic development.

Oh, internets, you so crazy.

Fun Guns

I’ve seen this meme at a few places: What is the most fun firearm you own and why?

Mine is a toss up between the suppressed 10/22 or the suppressed pistol. I’ve ditched the Walther and am looking for a replacement but it was fun. Those two guns have been used to introduce new shooters many, many times. Fun first guns for kids. And you can shoot them all day without hearing protection and it’ll only cost you a few bucks. And everyone loves the satisfying ‘ping’ when it hits steel.

I’m not tactical, I’m lazy

Tam on going strapped around the house. You know, a bit back I ditched all my pocket guns. Having been from the corporate world, I had a need for pocket carrying since strapping on full-sized heater wasn’t practical. Since my flight from corporate America, I’ve pretty much completely changed manner of dress. So, I just strap on my IWB holster at about 4:00. It’s just always there.
