mipafox 438 Posted June 22, 2015 BOOM. SAF! http://www.saf.org/?p=6431 BELLEVUE, WA – A surprising victory for gun rights in Puerto Rico has eliminated the firearms registry and licensing requirements to purchase and carry in the Commonwealth, the Second Amendment Foundation has confirmed.As of now, according to Sandra Barreras with Ladies of the Second Amendment (LSA), the group that brought the lawsuit, “there is no regulation to purchase or carry (and) all purchases will be handled in accordance with federal firearms regulations.” LSA is affiliated with SAF through the International Association for the Protection of Civilian Arms Rights (IAPCAR).The class-action lawsuit challenged various articles in Puerto Rico’s gun law, which the court declared unconstitutional. Because of the ruling, Barreras said, Puerto Ricans may now carry openly or concealed without a permit, and they do not need to obtain a permit before purchasing a firearm. More at the website.

Midwest 28 Posted June 22, 2015 Well......... I posted all that information in the thread below 3 days ago " SAF Lauds Puerto Rico Court Victory For Gun Rights - Huge Victory"http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/77198-saf-lauds-puerto-rico-court-victory-for-gun-rights-huge-victory/ Puerto Ricans can now carry firearms without a permit and the firearms registry has been eliminated. And there are no more licensing requirements to purchase. From what the article says, it looks just regular Federal Law takes precedence. This has all the makings of a landmark victory. I posted this here because it is current gun law and perhaps it might have bearing (or influence) on New Jersey in some way in the future. The politicians in NJ can't keep all these outdated and draconian gun laws in place and keep denying the right to carry without it legally coming back and biting them in the ass sometime in the future (in my opinion). Congratulations to our friends in Puerto Rico. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/saf-lauds-puerto-rico-court-victory-for-gun-rights-300102214.html "A surprising victory for gun rights in Puerto Rico has eliminated the firearms registry and licensing requirements to purchase and carry in the Commonwealth, the Second Amendment Foundation has confirmed.As of now, according to Sandra Barreras with Ladies of the Second Amendment (LSA), the group that brought the lawsuit, "there is no regulation to purchase or carry (and) all purchases will be handled in accordance with federal firearms regulations."

Vlad G 345 Posted June 29, 2015 Except for you know .. PR being broke, and the Greece of the US at this point, defaulting on its debts, etc. How much do you want to bet they will be somehow "rescued" by the US but with additional rules and regulations.
