On April 22, the mob filed a bill for their costs of $166.50 for printing/copying the paperwork. I was wondering how they were going to do that, considering that Everytown is already providing the lawyers for free.

On April 22, the (federal) judge dismissed Count II of the complaint without prejudice. Count II is/was the count challenging IL's venue-shifting law. The judge also denied the plaintiff's motion to have the case remanded back to state court. In other words, the case is now just to order the state to issue Myers a FOID, and it's staying in federal court.

On April 17, plaintiffs answered the court's order regarding jurisdiction. On April 18, the court ordered defendants to respond by April 26.

... Follow-up: It just took a while, I guess.

Some of the early combined cards weren't printed correctly. They were supposed to have all been replaced. You're probably not alone.

High Standard made 9-chamber .22 caliber revolvers (22short, 22LR, and 22wmr).

In the following story, "senior" means high school senior. Are the police warning CCL-holders not to shoot kids with squirt guns?Are the police warning parents and students not to play the game in public places around other people? (It's pretty much the point of the game to play it in public places around other people.)If we see a student in a ski mask with a squirt gun, are we supposed to report him?

On April 8, the court ordered the US to file its appeal brief by May 14.

I saw some statistics a few years ago that said most applicants to law school were political "science" majors. The major with the highest proportion of acceptance was physics. Based on a single data point, the highest proportion of lawyers who move on to picking locks were physics undergrads.
