I filed, but that thought does cross my mind. Have our witness slips ever been honored as a legitimate block to anti-gun legislation? Yes, the Call to Action mentioned that several bills are currently dormant, but I wonder if that's due less to our vigilance and more to other political shenanigans going on behind the scenes.

If I'm reading this correctly, according to the ISP all shotgun extension tubes are subject to PICA if they aren't used for hunting. Since state law prohibits you from hunting using a shotgun with a magazine holding more than three rounds, your shotgun and extension tube can't be used for hunting and would therefore be subject to PICA.

The Gun Violence Prevention Committee just scheduled a new hearing on April 30th at 2 pm. SB8 is on the agenda. https://beta.ilga.gov/house/hearings/details/3134/21997

That was part of what Mark @ 4 Boxes said in his video, actually. Also, in that video he said that he's not aware of a circuit split in this particular matter, so I'm not sure how that lines up with the reply from Worth that said there is a split. He did try to pick apart specific words (carry, purchase, possess, etc.) in relation to the Bruen decision and a couple of other yet-to-be-resolved cases. It's complicated. lol At least there's a pro-2A precedent on the books now. Hopefully (ha!) other circuits see and accept that precedent.

SCOTUS denied cert today. So, both sides wanted cert, Worth said there was a circuit split, and SCOTUS punted it, leaving a circuit split in place? Is that correct?

I wouldn't read much into that. There isn't a circuit split on this particular issue, right? The Illinois case would be the impetus for that if it goes in favor of the state. Until then, SCOTUS is going to stay silent. Edit: Worth v Jacobson was conferenced exactly once before being denied cert. Edit #2: Hang on, there IS a circuit split and SCOTUS still denied cert? (See Worth's response)

Distributed for conference on Friday April 25.

Distributed for conference (lucky #13) on Friday April 25.

The case was distributed for conference this Thursday, April 17.

BREAKING NEWS!!!! Naah, not really. The case was distributed for conference this Thursday, April 17. Exactly what a conspirator would say.

Yes, but that perspective doesn't sell clicks or make the TDS-afflicted shriekingly happy.

I'm surprised the judges didn't want briefings for and against setting a schedule.

Cert denied in Antonyuk. No detailed opinion or dissent issued on the denial. No word on Snope or Ocean State, though.

So if the host is reported to the police, what would the next step be? They'd still need a warrant (or an unwitting door-answerer) to come inside, right? Let's suppose all firearms are securely stored during that friendly chat. Does the initial reporter get arrested for filing a false report? I assume the answer would be "no". Forget storing guns safely, better make sure any pro-gun literature you have is hidden, too, if you're having guests over. That American Rifleman magazine cover with the scary black rifle on it might trigger someone. "I saw a gun!"

Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, explosives, and drugs. When does the store open?

AG Bondi will circle back on that.

Are there any cases challenging the GCA as a 2A violation right now?

Interesting, but even if it was legal here, I'm not sure I'd want a firearm that's going to keyhole your shots by design. Screen shot from a Military Arms Channel video (34 minutes long, skip to 8:00ish for shooting.

"Some" is carrying a lot of weight there. Hopefully this rule will be one of those things that AG Bondi will be reviewing and undoing.

SCOTUS ruled 7-2 in favor of the government. Alito and Thomas dissent. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/23-852_c07d.pdf

Better to have it and not need it? If Florida is a potential relocation spot for you, and you do make the move, then Google says you'll be good to go on day 1 with a valid carry license, and you can say [IC-filtered] Illinois that day. Is it just a renewal fee or do you have to do training, too? If it's just the fee, it seems like a minor outlay of cash to keep the license alive. Google says it's $87, and I'm sure we've all spent larger amounts of money on dumber things. Since you vacation there, it doesn't sound like the money will make or break you, but that's up to you to decide.

Not-a-lawyer's opinion: In that section, "lawful school" is specifically for truancy. For the purposes of the act, though, homeschools would be considered a "non-public school", which seems to be different from "private school". The language is vague enough for lawyers to drive a truck through it, though, and the question is whether the state did it that way on purpose. If this gets close to passing, somebody needs to step up with a floor amendment to clarify it one way or the other.

Ironically, if Congressional R's tried to pass such a bill, the Dems would likely let it pass, then immediately go to the courts to say "See, even THEY think the Second Amendment doesn't protect them. If they did, they wouldn't have had to cram this bill down our throats!"

OMG it's a conflict of interest! He can't rule on gun cases now!

Plaintiff's attorneys: Unable to do anything about it State's attorneys: Not wanting to do anything about it 7CA judges / SCOTUS: Unwilling to do anything about it Thanks, Molly.
