The following is the letter I sent to the Militia, Police, and Public Safety Subcommittee tonite on several bills they are considering tomorrow, 26 Jan 2012. The list of this committee’s members’ emails is here. Greetings Delegates Wright, Gilbert, Webert, Farris, and Lewis, I know your schedule is very busy so I will keep [...]
Nope, not kidding. Via Alphecca, we have this story: The Second Amendment Foundation and Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs will appeal a federal judge’s ruling Friday that “the Second Amendment does not include a general right to carry handguns outside the home.” Federal Judge William H. Walls, a Clinton appointee, dismissed a [...]
The General Assembly in Virginia has convened for 2012, as I alluded to in this post, and there are several bills that have been introduced for the session that relate to 2nd Amendment protections.

Hopefully I can comment tomorrow on a couple of other items, namely: A Wisconsin judge has ruled that WI’s ban on concealed carry is unconstitutional. Interesting. I’m looking for the ruling [...]
