Partial 2A Rights Return To Massachusetts

In general, federal appeals courts will look at the evidence in the light most favorable to the non moving party. Which in this case is GOAL et al. Of course it's the First Circuit which has never been particularly 2A friendly.

That said, the harm to the FFLs affected is immediate and probably irreparable. At least in my opinion.

Edited to Add: I have seen any notices from gun stores that they plan to open tomorrow, even by appointment.

Actually, this is late for me. :) The early bird catches the worm ya know. ;)

Back on topic, the rumor is that the state is going to appeal the judge's temporary order that is allowing reopening of our MA gun shops on Saturday. Our nasty anti-2A AG lady does not like to lose these battles. She believes that gun sales should not be allowed and that is that, 2nd Amendment be damned. :mad:

Can she do that in time to prevent Saturday's shop reopenings? :confused: Stay tuned... :p

What a difference a few hours makes. Every MA shop that I am aware of is opening for business tomorrow at noon! :D Too bad for poor old TTSH that I need information before I can join in the fun. No way I want to waste a dealer's precious appointment slot unless I am 100% sure that I can do a buy. :)
 
So far I've seen three shops announcing that they will open as of the 12th. By appointment only of course.

I don't have anything on my want list right now. At least nothing that's out there for sale.

Still, it's progress of a sort.

I know about the one near you. That actually surprised me. But so many of the shops are still seriously short on ammo, so it might make sense for some. The "Big Boys" are opening. I hope they can survive on just four appointments per hour. :(

ETA: Okay, I'm now seeing other dealers filling up with Saturday appointments (many for items already ordered/bought but held in limbo) and pushing appointments for new business into next week. Four appointments per hour doesn't leave them much wiggle room. Gotta take care of old business before new business I guess. ;) -ttsh

Our MA club was ordered closed by the local board of health in conjunction with the governor's order. Now that he's allowing the golf courses to open, I see no reason we can't at least use outdoor ranges, using appropriate social distancing and all that jazz.
