Well, It does say the right to "keep and bear arms" and it shall not be infringed.

It sure as heck does not say "A well regulated militia, being necessary to a free state, the right of the people to keep arms in your home and go get it to bear arms when you need it."

The 7th ruled the other way. It is heading to the supreme court

Does this mean that we'd all be required to OC? Wouldn't that be interesting.

Ha ha. Never thought of that

An interesting read. From what I read, via the court document, Mr. Peterson, a resident of Washington state, filed for and was denied a concealed carry permit in a state(Colorado) where he did not reside. He sued stating that he had a right to obtain such permit(via 2A) and the courts upheld the sheriff's right to deny a CC(from Colorado)based on the fact he wasn't a legal resident of the state. Determination was based on LOCAL(meaning in state and not national since none exists) data bases commonly used in determining if there are any red flags(or not) to approve such a licence. Did I read that wrong? I don't know the conceal carry laws of Washington or Colorado and I don't remember seeing anything whether he had a CC in Washington or not. Not all states recognize other states CC licenses. While the 2A states your right to bear arms, it's the individual states right whether to allow (or not) a CC. Currently I think that there are only 33 states that do.

that analysis is terrible.

they claim that the NRA is trying to undo laws and get rid of safety rules. bzzzt.

go to the NRA website, you can read the basic rules of gun safety.

the laws under consideration are not gun safety laws, they are laws about personal safety and protection. if a bad guy has a gun, shouldn't a good guy be able, legally, to have one to defend himself?

Of course they said that. If Captain Planet was still running the NRA would be Nraman the evil corporate gun dealer who wanted everyone on earth to be shot by evil guns that can fire themselves.

Its MUCH easier to make ridiculous and wild claims if the thing you're calling out is an evil faceless force, not a group of people, and definitely not your neighbor who helped you dig your car out of the snow last week.

I'd love to see an NRA ad that pushed REAL gun safety. Honestly, my 5 year old little girl can tell you gun safety, one would think an anti should be able to figure it out too.
