As a private citizen, almost certainly not. As a Soldier, the answer is a qualified yes. Army Regulation 190-14 concerns the carrying of firearms by personnel assigned to perform law enforcement and security duties. AR 190-14 Chapter 3-2 f(2) and Chapter 3-2f(3) specifically authorizes...

At one time the Baltimore City Police Commissioner was appointed by the Governor of Maryland rather than the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. At that time the Governor could remove the Police Commissioner. Such a circumstance was unique to Baltimore City and hasn't been the case for decades...

The Justices chose not to hear this case out of fear because deep down in their hearts they know what most are afraid to say, namely that the bonds that hold us together as a nation are collapsing. If the Supreme Court had heard this case and issued a ruling which invalidated Article 400 of...

The problem with bad law is that, like some physical deformities, the longer you wait to correct it the harder it becomes to make that correction. Eventually, no surgery, regardless of how radical it is, is able correct the defect. The time to have fought the Sullivan Law was within the...

As a Police Officer and a combat veteran I can tell you from first hand experience that the type of behavior you're describing can be attributed to three things, the first being the way Police Officers are trained, the second being popular culture and the third being the quality of those being...

I was born and raised in New York City. New York City ordered that rifles and shotguns be registered in the 1960s. In the 1980s when David Dinkins was Mayor the City Council decided to ban so-called assault weapons. Those who didn't turn in their registered rifles and shotguns that were now...

"Yet the assertion often seen on this subforum is that it is for the SCOTUS alone to determine the constitutionality of a law." In response to Worcester v. Georgia President Andrew Jackson is alleged to have said, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!" Whether or not...

I swore an Oath as both a Soldier and a Police Officer to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. As a Police Officer I swore an Oath to support and defend the Constitution of my particular State. Enforcing a ban on so-called assault weapons and standard capacity magazines is...

I understand your point, however my point is this: Before the laws of the United States can be "the supreme Law of the Land" they must be made in pursuance to the Constitution. The laws of the United States cannot be contrary to the Constitution or in spite of the Constitution. The...

revolution claptrap "If Wyoming passed the proposed legislation it would be purely symbolic because a state cannot nullify a federal law." The problem with this line of reasoning is that the United States Constitution was not designed to be a one way street. High ranking Federal Officials...

I believe the OP's point is that Soldiers and Police shouldn't be built up into hyper-competent demigods not that they should be disarmed. The issue isn't that Soldiers and Policemen carry guns the issue is that their right to keep and bear arms is no greater than that of the citizens whose...

Many of the people buying these magazines today have no intention of turning them in regardless of any law(s) passed in the future. This recent run on guns, ammo and magazines has little or nothing to do with sporting use.

As someone who has worked as both a civilian Police Officer and a U.S. Army Military Policeman I can say without hesitation that what leadcounsel says is correct. Many people don't realize just how serious a crime problem the Army has. As an MP I responded to countless reports of rape...

"The legal reality is that there are limits to what a President can do with Executive Orders." I understand your point but, and I mean no disrespect, I don't think that what you're saying matters. The President is extremely hostile to the private ownership of firearms and these latest...

I believe that the OP's point is that every able bodied male 17 to 45 is a member of the unorganized militia and that pursuant to U.S. v. Miller the Second Amendment protects the right of private citizens to own military weaponry since as members of the militia they are expected to provide their...
