Supreme Court Takes First 2A Case in a Decade

Recommended Posts

One point I haven't seen anyone discuss.  Many have talked about wanting to carry hollowpoints, carry normal capacity magazines  and other issues.

A better argument is for national reciprocity.  I'd rather carry a 10 rd magazine  without hollowpoints in another state.

The fact is most states have no magazine or hollowpoint laws.  If the 2A applies outside your home it should apply if you travel outside your state.  National reciprocity, using the 14th Amendment should be the next argument.

Murphy, who has no clue, is waiting to see what Hochel gets away with.  As it is just about all the reasons to go to NYC are gun free zones.

I expect a lot of that to be changed.

National reciprocity is the most important fight IMO.

I’m not sure the constitutional strategy for NR.  I think it would be a stretch legally.  Also given the recent state’s scope aspect of the recent scotus decisions I'm not sure it would be successful.

I mean at the easy to see level is equal protection. You could also try to dredge up the privileges and immunities clause.

Appendix A on page 35 has a typical New Jersey qualification course of fire.

While the course of fire is described using a semi-auto, you can easily meet the same time requirements using a revolver.  I've done it many times.

Thanks Kurt for giving me something to look forward to. Too bad they don't accomodate single action.

Holy crap, the lawyers who argued for NYSRPA in Bruen are effectively pushed out of their firm:

They started their own firm and are now representing the NSSF:

NEWTOWN, Conn. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is announcing it has retained Paul Clement and Erin Murphy of Clement & Murphy, PLLC, to represent NSSF in its appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in its lawsuit, NSSF et al v. James. The lawsuit challenges New York State’s unlawful public nuisance statute, which is designed to impose New York-style gun control on the lawful sale of firearms and ammunition products by permitting lawsuits against members of the industry for the criminal misuse of firearms that find their way into New York even when the sale occurred wholly outside the State of New York and in compliance with all applicable federal and the state laws where it took place.

Doesn't what Thomas wrote in his opinion about allowing states to preserve reasonable restrictions on carrying mitigate against NR that stems from a SCOTUS decision (imo there is zero chance of that happening via Federal legislation)? I know those are two different issues, but to me, it did make him seem open to the idea of preserving some degree of States' Rights under 2 A and 14A  It also seems to me it would take at least one more 2A case to tie him down on the boundaries of that latitude, and it is possible we might not like the results. 

I don’t think it is clear, and likely depends on what you consider national reciprocity.  I don’t think we could get to the final answer in one case  

Fundamental to the ruling is that the typical citizen has the right to both own and carry arms. You don’t cease having 1a rights when you cross a border. It is also not the case that constitutional rights are tiered. It would not shock me to see a future case establish that carrying cannot be more burdened than purchasing. 

I also see it as 100% that every state would need to offer permits to out of staters. Not doing so by reciprocity could very feasible be found to be burdensome. 
 

I suspect the federal government could create a law setting a standard due to the disparity causing issues with interstate commerce. But that wouldn’t be crafted whole by the court, nor should it be

Just wondering who these instructors are and what course of fire and what training are they qualifying you under? I have yet to hear what training course is being accepted by the judge that is expected to sign off on the permit.  I read that the training needs to be equivalent to the PTC course which is much more involved than some NRA basic safety course or a hunter ed.... Please advise

Yeah. I have a Bond derringer that I have for backup (elsewhere) that would only ever get used at arms length or closer. I wouldn't even ask an instructor about attempting to qualify with that, given the prevailing predjudice attitude regarding that kind of gun in some quarters... I also have a New Blackhawk, but it doesn't easily lend itself to concealment.

Whilst there are people who can shoot a SA revolver as fast as a DA it all falls apart if you need a reload. Not likely but something one needs to plan for.

I would not feel unarmed with a SA revolver but I'd rather have something else. A small 380 would serve better as a backup gun than any derringer..

JMO, WTF do I know?

SO.

In jersey we now have potentially THREE separate "carry" standards for the same, on paper, CCW permit now? 

 

Standard #1:

I have had a jersey "restricted" "carry" permit for 10 years now. I can carry in jersey, pretty much anywhere (and beyond) at work. 

 

Standard #2:

Retired law enforcement. Can carry pretty much anywhere in jersey, I believe as well. And very similar renewals etc, like my current/active permit.

 

Standard #3:

"Civilian" CCW (under Murph's Alinsky style Rules for Radicals definitions) maybe OFF LIMITS in certain arbitrary "gun free zones", retail establishmemts, restaurants, movie theaters, 'buffer zones', "public safety" 'zones', 'sensitive areas', parks, 'crowded' areas, and etc, etc, etc... and etc....

 

The depths of the feel good STUPIDITY of this state's utter non-sense is beyond any and all human comprehension. PLENTY of low hanging fruit and material for EASY immediate future open-and-shut lawsuits and Class Actions for any good ambitious attorney(s) to devour and make a name for themselves.

It doesn't matter (to them) that all these challenges end up  in courts. Its well established that anti-2A NJ, NY etc DO NOT CARE.  There are no real consequences to keep pushing ridiculous laws. They  just have to keep making them faster than courts (which NJ is notorious for dragging their feet and siding with liberals) are willing to handle.

A believe this to be a fake! Someone is toying with us....If it was real it would come from the NJ AG office and would not include numerous grammar and sentence structure discrepancies. It's bullshit!

Correct. The State Police do not delegate policy or procedure to municipalities. 

As mentioned, official internal memos/directives are conducted with a letter head, and also must include a recipient/s. Not to mention it can't be "from" the entirety of the NJSP... its from whomever( the actual person) wrote it. 

It's not even a question if that's fake. Who ever did that is a complete moron.

Yep, looks like it was done on a Smith Corona typewriter. Also info is contrary to what is posted on NJSP website. What a shame, since it's closer to how it should be (although still too restrictive).

Right. When I saw that image I immediately thought of the Bush/Dan Rather memo fiasco that should have been in Courier typeface.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone use Courier in a word processor. And who the hell still has a typewriter laying around?

(Oops! Mrs. 45Doll still has my mother's L.C. Smith from the 1940's in her office as a paperweight. But I didn't type that letter!)
