Actually I AM one of those St. George people! So when I play dress up I carry an Ascalon clone, not a Naboo blaster.
Sigh… perhaps I should back down. You know the old saying… “Never bring a sword to a Naboo blaster fight.”
Any of you boys ever dealt with that jdindadell fella? I ran into him a couple times. Sumpin ain’t right with that boy. Not sure I should transact with him. I bet he dresses up like his favorite gun-wielding movie character with a Naboo blaster strapped to his hip. I ain’t judgin’, I’m just sayin’…
The CHP permit law at La. RS 40:1379.3.I, outlines the duty to inform and that failure to do so can result in permit revocation.
At 40:1379.3.L an additional “catch all” penalty provision is set forth:
L. Anyone who carries and conceals a handgun in violation of any provision of this Section...
And ample case law exists to support that the government can and will limit (infringe?) 2A rights.
What I am contemplating as to the “who” is specific to the reading of the 2nd, which doesn’t say, for example, “…shall not be infringed unless the citizen is a felon.”
As you point out the 5th...
Free as in the community, subject to the whims of those who would harm them, just like the legally free (e.g., you and I).
The bigger question to me isn’t what the law is. It is what it is, and we need laws. And most people will alter their actions to comply with the law in order to stay free...
I’m taking the extreme position, interpreting the Constitution as absolute. The Courts have obviously ruled otherwise, thus the ability to restrict weapons access… at least on paper. I just think the laws don’t do what they’re intended to do. Should we still try? Sure. But tougher laws and...
All good questions. And relevant in the eyes of the courts and law enforcement.
So as I read your comment I’m going to guess that your position is that if: 1) there is still some parole restriction in place, meaning a “debt to society” is yet to be “paid”, 2) there is a violence component...
Let’s assume he’s still on some sort of probation, but he’s no longer incarcerated. He’s home with his family. It’s late, he tells his wife and kids goodnight. Should he have the right, without penalty of law, to sleep with a pistol on his nightstand to defend himself and his family against an...
That’s goes without saying. But in what scenario should a man be told he no longer has the “right” to defend himself and his family, especially in his own home?
Does the Constitution provide the “State” discretion when it says “shall not be infringed”?
And remember my prior statement, just...
"Based on this record, we cannot say that Duarte's predicate offenses were, by Founding era standards, of a nature serious enough to justify permanently depriving him of his fundamental Second Amendment rights," Bea wrote. "The Second Amendment's plain text and historically understood meaning...
Correction: The Justice Department submitted its proposed rule to the Federal Register on 4/11, but it was not actually “published” until 4/19. So we don’t actually lose our rights until 5/20, NOT 5/10! WHOO HOO!!!
