We know of no other enumerated constitutional right whose core protection has been subjected to a freestanding “interest-balancing” approach. The very enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of government—even the Third Branch of Government—the power to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth insisting upon. A constitutional guarantee subject to future judges’ assessments of its usefulness is no constitutional guarantee at all. Constitutional rights are enshrined with the scope they were understood to have when the people adopted them, whether or not future legislatures or (yes) even future judges think that scope too broad. Justice Scalia on 2A

All my Craftsman stuff says Made in USA or Forged in USA.

I would get 6 pt sockets. I've had to do some car repairs lately and the 12 pointers started to round off the nuts.

My guess is that it's something mechanical since you can't even boot to safe mode. Did you OC the CPU? Maybe your cooling got a little dusty and reducing the cooling ability plus the heat wave we're having just overheated something.

If this did happen in NJ and she was charged with crimes then I'd agree this state is beyond repair, etc but I just don't see how NJ is condemned for this when NJ wasn't involved. I think if you have uninvited guests and you take proper precautions to protect yourself you are good. If you shoot someone to protect your possessions in NJ you are in trouble. But no one was injured here.

Why do you assume she'd be in jail if this happened in NJ? NJ grants us the ability to defend ourselves in our homes.

On what grounds do you think he's misinterpreting the law? Or actually, on what grounds do you think the original ruling was not based on the law? There is some political pressure on judges to uphold the status quo but on what basis would there be to rule the NJ CCW law unconstitutional? Does the 2A extend outside the home? I just don't see much upside to sending hate mail to a sitting judge.

Any one try Ex Officio?

I agree with this. I also think that the police and prosecutors use due discretion when enforcing this law. It's not like the police are following people home from gun ranges and arresting them for a minor deviation. The law is vague and the government likes it that way.

If you've seen the movie, American Psycho, what is your opinion of those wall street type guys in the movie? Paying someone to do manual labor would be expected amongst their peers. Car repairs, dry wall, sweating copper pipe, plumbing, etc. can be very intimidating if you've never had someone show you how to do those things or if you have the belief that it takes a lot of training to learn those skills.

That is very good shooting to hit 3 inches at 30 yards with a pistol. I think I could do it at 10 yards.

Not even a little bit.

Since when do you need an ID to ride in a truck.

Regarding S2723: Are you sure the training class applies to current FID holders? The "safety" course sounds like a classroom course with no shooting involved. My local PD has to affix the endorsement to my DL for my FID and every handgun permit. So a guy like Maks would get about 100 endorsements on his DL? How we track how many HG permits are left?

I'm ready to call year of the cicada a bust. I haven't seen or heard one yet.

An old court case about a bartender said you have to be the owner.

You should voice your concerns to your employer that they should upgrade security.

You can legally meet and repel the intruders at your doorstep.

This pretty much what I do. I got a 5 pack of cheap padlocks so I only need one key. Some think I'm a sell out by doing more than the law demands. On the other hand, I'll stop for gas or an errand if it's on the way and not worry about it.

I've had similar issues as Krdshrk at Range 14. It is a pretty cool place but it could be a lot better if the ROs were not on a power trip. +1

If your AR is semi auto then you have nothing to worry about. If your AR shoot auto for whatever reason, you'll have a harder time explaining why you have a M16 BCG. There is one case law that I read where the rifle shot full auto and had some aftermarket parts that allowed it to shoot full auto. Among those parts was an M16 BCG. Bottom line, the BCG won't get you in trouble. Parts that allow the rifle shoot full auto will get you in trouble.

I'm not aware of any departments that have said it's not their duty to protect you. Which departments have stated that? What has happened is that is some bad things happened to some people and they sued the police saying the police should have protected them. The courts have ruled in favor of the police. I don't think a motto on the side of a patrol car confers any legal meaning.

Why didn't it end well? Were there other things besides the gun case that caused the trooper to be suspicious?

You have to look at the case in its totality and not just conclude that a gun case is prima facie cause for a search. It was a contributing factor. The guy violated FOPA.

Chiros just get things adjusted and the blood flowing. You need to do the yoga, pilates, proper diet, exercise, strength training, posture, etc to really complete the cure.
