From my cold dead hands...

... this logic is moronic.

I was hoping you wouldn't say that. I find it depressing when one of our highest judges dismisses such an old argument with 'no evidence'.

I wonder who put him in there.

Misfit, in Texas they tell you that your shirt shouldn't even 'print' your gun, in that it looks like a gun with a shirt over it. Mainly because our DPS has always exercised a bit of individual interpretation of 'causing a disturbance' or 'displaying a firearm'.

"When the court decides something in a manner we like, the SCOTUS's word is bible. When they decide something we don't like, it's obviously a worthless decision and should be ignored." - Nancy Pelosi

The Supreme Court decision didn't give people carte blanche to carry whatever they want wherever they want. The government can't outright ban the weapons anymore, but can still regulate the possession of them. I'm sure there will be more lawsuits to follow based on how restrictive that regulation is.

Oh I'm well aware. I just wanted to take a dig at Pelosi, because, well, I don't want this thread locked.

But needless to say, if the decision went the other way, she'd be saying "Yay, this means no guns for anymore anywhere and we no longer have a 2nd amendment."

By definition a milita is not tied to the government, the regulation of a milita to assure a free state is self regulation, not government....

It's interesting to note that a militia is called upon to keep the goverment in line should they fail to serve the people. However fedal law currently labels this type of action as terrorism.

Do you think they are trying to eliminate militias so the goverment has free reign?

I'm sure there will be more lawsuits to follow based on how restrictive that regulation is.

The ISRA, NRA, and individual plaintiffs filed suit against Chicago, Morton Grove, et al in the area here literally 5 minutes after the USSC decision came down. King Daily promised to fight it out and appeal if necessary.

I assume D.C. will find a way to skirt the issue and keep handguns illegal. Maybe something similar to the Marijuana Stamp Act? "You cannot own, obtain, possess 'item X' without a permit. You must own and have in you possession 'item X' before applying for a permit."

To my understanding states who require permits and such for firearms, either for owning them or carrying them concealed, fall under two main groups...

'Shall issue' and 'May issue'

Here in arizona the CCW permit is the only firearms related permit the state has (with exception to class II, III and NFA weapons), and it is a shall issue.

That means if you meet the requirements on the list, you will get your permit. Seems fair enough to me.

Do you all think that 'May issue' laws may come under fire with this ruling?

I would tend to hope so... I would hope that IL's CC forbidden law would come under more fire.
