Concealed Weapons and Yesterday’s Ninth Circuit Court’s Intellectually Bankrupt Decision

San Francisco, CA—The Ninth Circuit Court’s three judge panel originally ruled that California’s Concealed weapon law was void in light of both the recent Heller and McDonald cases in the US Supreme Court . California counties and cities issue carry permits except that the jurisdictions controlled by Democrats simply deny them except for a select few politically connected favorites. Yesterday the full court, at the urging of State Attorney General Kamala Harris revisited the case, en bank.  The full court reversed and allowed for the continued blanket denial of permits. The case Peruta v. County of San Diego is now been positioned in direct conflict with the Supreme Court and other Circuit court opinions to the contrary.  Here the Ninth Circuit Court simply repealed the right to bear arms through an outrageously biased and defective judicial action.  The next fight will be in the US Supreme Court and we must now guess who will be confirmed to fill t...

The Final Gun Rights Battles--Campus Cary and Gun Free Zones

Washington, DC —The United States Supreme Court reaffirmed and settled the primary Second Amendment rights issues of all Americans in two somewhat recent cases, Heller and McDonald . Despite this some arrogant politicians feel they and some of their supporters are above the law.   They still seek to use the full force of government and violence against anyone exercising their gun rights. It looks like it may take several more years of lower court battles before these determined and lawless political thugs are reigned in.   These cases move ever so slowly through the courts.   The Second Amendment simply says we can possess and carry firearms.   Impairment of these rights by government is nothing more than a pure Civil Rights Violation. On their face laws barring Campus Carry or those that allow for Gun Free Zones clearly violate the law of the land. Campus Carry: These prohibitions like every law only affect the law-abiding.   The late convict...

LAPD Has Bad Some Advice For Those Facing Armed Robbers

Los Angeles, CA —I spend a lot of time in L.A. when I’m not in Phoenix or Chicago.   The crime rate here is climbing because of prisoner releases by California Corrections and the Obama Administration dictating the mass release of criminal aliens.  I don’t know where this is going yet.  Hopefully, I’m as prepared as I can be if a thug or thugs actually select me for victimization. The good news here is that in two separate rulings the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled the current scheme that bars people from carrying concealed weapons for simple self-defense is unconstitutional.    The current law is now unenforceable.  Some California Sheriffs already began processing thousands of new CCW permit applications because the Supreme Court settled this in McDonald vs. City of Chicago.     The Mugger, Rapist Killer Protection Act (as I call it) in California is about to die a quick death.  The reasonable expectation tha...

Why the No Guns Signs in Restaurants and Shopping Malls are Unenforceable

Chicago, IL —As thousands of concealed weapons permits are being issued here some people running local businesses apparently fear anyone law-abiding that is also armed.   They are putting up signs prohibiting guns. Illinois politicians opposed to gun rights have offered up a feel good solution allowing businesses to ban guns on their property that’s otherwise open to the public.    Some of the businesses are following corporate mandates others are ignorant and perhaps frightened by the idea of guns.  Of course all armed and dangerous criminals can be counted upon to ignore the signs.   Adding to the madness the business owners utilizing the signs are telling criminals that they can rob, kill or rape without encountering armed resistance!   These days in most safe appearing neighborhoods finding armed security guards not involved in money transportation is nearly impossible.    No local business would dare begin TSA style frisking ....

Gun Free Zones vs. Gun Rights and Survival

Phoenix, AZ —I’ve been in the fight for Gun-Rights here since the 1980’s.  Arizona had a real Wild West mentality mixed with the Liberal ideation of the huge influx big city Eastern transplants that brought their gun bans with them. Those from New York, New Jersey and Chicago fled from their cities but quickly demanded the same kind of Liberal baloney that made them run away in the first place!   It may not make sense, but it’s reality.   Gun control has long offered the false promise of greater public safety.   Some people actually believe that in a free society you can simply make laws and people will somehow obey them.   If we can’t keep drugs and weapons out of our maximum-security prisons how can we possibly control them in our cities?   The problem with gun control is a simple one.   Gun bans are unenforceable.   The Fourth Amendment in our Bill of Rights guarantees the right to be free of unreasonable searches.   Okay, man...

San Diego Sheriff Announced he Won’t Appeal from 9th Circuit Appellate Decision Striking Concealed Weapon Ban!

San Diego, CA —Yesterday Sheriff Bill Gore announced that he wouldn’t appeal the decision in Peruta vs. County of San Diego . That of course was the ruling that struck down California’s ability to obstruct the issuance of concealed weapon permits to law-abiding people requesting them.   The permits were nearly impossible to obtain in the state's most populous jurisdictions.   Officials had the power to arbitrarily and capriciously deny permits.   Only the politically powerful, very wealthy or connected applicants got the permits. Some California Sheriffs would routinely and nefariously sell the permits to their campaign contributors.   Under the now invalidated law CCW permit applicants had to prove "moral fitness" and a compelling need for the added protection.   Those nebulas factors were so incredibly vague that they were void.  Despotic California sheriffs and police chiefs got away with violating the Second Amendment rights of citizens for ...

Breaking News! California’s Concealed Weapon Ban Struck Down By The 9th Circuit Court of appeals!

San Francisco, CA —Today the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals followed recent rulings by The United States Supreme Court by striking down the California ban on concealed weapons. In a 127page opinion ruled that the long standing law that allowed for “may issue” permits was un-Constitutional.   The stricken aw had given police official’s absolute power to issue or deny permits to applicants.   The permits were almost exclusively issued to politicians, bureaucrats and heavy political campaign donors in the more populous jurisdictions.   Appeal is unlikely because of the SCOTUS  McDonald decision that is in fact the law of the land.   That case is what toppled Chicago’s ban.   Illinois officials   are currently issuing thousands of permits to law-abiding citizens.   What this really means is that if a gun owner is free of felony or domestic violence convictions and is not mentally ill the current law requiring a permit to c...
