"Watching Alan Gura and the attorneys for the City of Chicago go at it in the Ezell case is like watching a fencing competition. It is attack and counter-attack, thrust and parry, lunge and counter-lunge. No foils or epees for these lawyers. Instead it is sabers and no protective headgear all the way."
"Right about now (Sept 16th at 5pm EDT) Alan Gura and David Sigale are going into court in Chicago for a hearing on their motion for a temporary restraining order against the City of Chicago. They are seeking this TRO so that the Action Target, the [SAF], and [ISRA] can open a portable firing range in Chicago. ... They want to open up this range so that people can meet the live-fire requirements of the Chicago Firearms Permit (CFP)." ...

"In a ritual as predictable as hunting season, it's another election year and people are once again gunning for the [NRA]. Only this time the powerful gun-rights group and b�te noire of the left is taking friendly fire -- from activists on the right who are growing increasingly impatient with the NRA for taking stands at odds with the rest of the conservative movement." ...
"What irks these conservatives is the sense that the mighty NRA ... has become too pragmatic in the use of its power: too willing to compromise with Democrats, too cautious in its approach to Second Amendment litigation, too slow to oppose liberal judicial nominees, and too willing to settle for a place at the table in liberal-occupied Washington." ... |

"I have described the only type of person we are protected from with a gun free zone. That person is mostly law abiding, but faced with enough provocation, they will shoot with no thought toward the consequences or the morality of their action. The shooter at Johns Hopkins hospital, Paul Warren Pardus, is such a man. ..."
"Antigunners will howl about how this proves nobody is qualified to carry a concealed weapon, and that it is proof that the evil spirit of a gun eventually suffuses the person carrying it.

My wife told me I'd been pro-gun ever since she knew me, and we went to a shooting range on our very first date. She said, actually, it got off to a rocky start that night because a five year old kid was shooting an M60 machine gun and the bullets started flying all over the place." ... |

"Nearly 200 people apply for a concealed weapons permit in Utah each day. And about three-fourths of them don't live in the state." ...
"Out-of-state permits issued in fiscal 2010 numbered 44,043 compared with 17,315 to residents. Both numbers reflect change from the previous year: Out-of-state permits are up; in-state permits down."
"Administrators with the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the agency that oversees the program, are hard-pressed to explain the surge."
"'We don't ask and they don't tell,' Lt. Douglas Anderson, BCI manager, said after a Wednesday meeting of the Legislature's Judiciary, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Interim Committee." ...

KABA Note: So a revenue stream of about $5250 per day or 1.5% of Utah's budget shortfall. In other words, if they only had 67 other licenses with this "problem" the state would be one of two in the country with a balanced budget. |

"The latest figures are in, ladies and gentlemen, and Utah continues to be the go-to place in the United States for permits to carry concealed handguns. It is understandable why gun enthusiasts in the Legislature would want to provide this permit for Utahns, but it remains baffling why the Beehive State would voluntarily shoulder this regulatory burden for people in 32 other states who have never set foot in this place and probably never will."
"We continue to believe that Utah should license this privilege only for Utahns. Let other states do it for their own people." ...

Those of you who know about such things don't need me to tell you that Damascus steel refers to hot-forged 'folded' metal, once used for shotguns, but abandoned due to the fact that the molded barrels deformed and/or failed with high pressure loads.

"Burgos was suspended from school in November after a teacher found a toy gun in his backpack. But when the boy went to register to go back to Pembroke Pines Charter School, he was told he will be expelled for this school year, too, as part of the county's zero tolerance weapons policy."
