Federal Farmer Posted October 12, 2010 at 07:33 PM Share Posted October 12, 2010 at 07:33 PM From Calguns, Peterson v. LaCabe (Denver): This is a case brought by our own Gray Peterson (who is a WA resident but spends lots of time here in California helping the fight) challenging Denver and Colorado's lack of carry license reciprocity and lack of an ability to issue carry licenses to out of state residents.

GarandFan Posted October 12, 2010 at 09:56 PM Share Posted October 12, 2010 at 09:56 PM Yeah, interesting. Colorado is one of the few states requiring that licensees be a resident of the issuing state. National reciprocity is needed badly. I see it happening in the next year.

GarandFan Posted October 12, 2010 at 11:27 PM Share Posted October 12, 2010 at 11:27 PM Well, last year, such an amendment passed the house and missed in the Senate by two votes. Next year, I am sure Speaker Boehner will call such a bill. I am not sure Senate Majority leader Durbin will, or if President Obama would sign it. Maybe as an other amendment ...

sctman800 Posted October 13, 2010 at 02:43 PM Share Posted October 13, 2010 at 02:43 PM Well, last year, such an amendment passed the house and missed in the Senate by two votes. IIRC This vote was determined to take 60 votes to pass and only got 58. The antis claimed a big victory even tho it had well over the majority. Jim.

Sigma Posted October 15, 2010 at 02:28 AM Share Posted October 15, 2010 at 02:28 AM You will have to get rid of Durbin first. When they interviewed him about voting against this, he starting talking about a shooting that occured a few weeks earlier.It had aboslutely nothing to do with the bill being voted on. It just showed his hatred towards legal gun owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Roark Posted October 16, 2010 at 03:08 AM Share Posted October 16, 2010 at 03:08 AM Hi Gray, You get around! We're glad you're here. I ask a simple question. What do you want members of Illinois Carry to know about you and your legal case to restore individual natural rights in America as protected by our Constitutional Second Amendment? Extra points for a long reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Peterson Posted February 9, 2011 at 07:25 AM Share Posted February 9, 2011 at 07:25 AM Hi Gray, You get around! We're glad you're here. I ask a simple question. What do you want members of Illinois Carry to know about you and your legal case to restore individual natural rights in America as protected by our Constitutional Second Amendment? Extra points for a long reply. Jeez, sorry for the long time that I have not responded to this thread and answered your question, Howard. I'll send you a PM to let you know about it. Folks, my case is merely one nearly a dozen carry cases that have been filed by members of the "Coalition", a group of organizations and individuals which includes the SAF, ISRA, CRPA Foundation the CalGuns Foundation, Commonwealth Second Amendment (MA), CRAL-RI, and attorneys such as Alan Gura, John Monroe, Donald Kilmer, Jason Davis, James Manley of the MSLF, and the Michel group. My case, is pretty simple, and purely goes to a single question: The Heller and McDonald decisions clearly held there is a right to bear arms as well (Scalia's note about sensitive places) as well as keep them. It's partly a simple question, though custom to the circumstances of Denver. One other case was filed in District of Colorado but it's based on sensitive places doctrine (postal service parking lot by civil plaintiffs, which I support wholeheartedly) and not where or not one has a general right to carry outside of the home. My case, for all intents and purposes, is the "10th Circuit Carry Case". My intention, however, is not to be "the" carry case to make it up to the SCOTUS. My preference is for one of Alan Gura's cases get taken by SCOTUS and have the potential for a GVR (grant, vacate, remand) if I lose my case at either level.....
