Nationwide Concealed Weapon Permit Reciprocity

 


Los Angeles, CA — California's Penal Code is packed with unconstitutional, redundant, and pointless gun regulations. In the landmark Supreme Court decision, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022), it was made clear that nearly all firearm prohibitions or regulations regarding possession, transportation, or carrying firearms are unconstitutional.


No other constitutional right stops at state borders, and the notion that the Second Amendment only applies in certain geographical locations is simply absurd.


Since the Bruen decision, gun laws across the country have been steadily overturned. These restrictions and regulations are being successfully challenged in courts everywhere. 


In addition to Bruen, in 2022, the Supreme Court granted review to several appellate challenges to gun laws, vacated lower court rulings, and remanded cases back to lower courts with instructions to revise their decisions in line with Bruen.


There are serious constitutional issues with laws that impose restrictions based on residency, firearm type, magazine capacity, gun-free zones, waiting periods, age restrictions, nonviolent felonies, delays in issuing permits, and charging fees for simply exercising a constitutional right.


The earlier Heller and MacDonald decisions made it clear that the second amendment was an individual right and reinforced its application to the states through the 14th Amendment.  That made it abundantly clear that every state must respect our gun rights.


California has recently lifted its ban on non-residents applying for concealed weapon permits. However, this does not address the long delays in processing permits, the excessive fees, or the other hurdles put in place. It seems like an attempt to avoid civil rights challenges while still making it difficult for non-residents to exercise their rights.


When the Second Amendment refers to the militia, it means ordinary citizens. The military, National Guard, police, and other Executive branch organizations already have unrestricted access to any weapons they need, with no limitations.


The right to bear arms does not limit citizens to ineffective or inferior weapons. There is no restriction on owning technologically advanced firearms, and in fact, there have been no major advances in firearms technology in over 100 years. Cosmetic changes in firearms are often exaggerated.


The popular AR-15, for example, fires a small 5.56mm bullet, originally utilized to wound rather than kill enemy soldiers. The idea was that an injured soldier would require two others to evacuate them, tying up enemy forces. The military also favored lighter ammunition so soldiers could carry more of it.


Today, 27 states allow concealed carry without a permit or registration. States that do require permits generally issue them without unnecessary delays. Unfortunately, a few radical states remain hostile to American civil rights and continue to violate them.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
