Congratulations and thank you for your service. I wish you and your family all the best.

I did not mean for my prior entry to be political at all and I apologize if it came across as partisan. I was trying to relate an observation that in another area of law -- immigration law-- this administration has been actively enforcing existing laws rather than introducing new ones. That...

It seems neutral to me I do not find anything particularly offensive in the President's remarks, and I cannot say that I actually disagree with the notion of enforcing existing laws. I work as an immigration lawyer. The Obama administration has ramped up enforcement enormously over the past...

Consult with a lawyer before you drive to NYC with a handgun in your trunk. The consultation fee will be a small price to pay given what could happen in a worst (but likely)-case scenario.

Bernhard Goetz LemmyCaution totally nails it. I lived in NYC in 1984 at the time of the shooting. It was a different place than it is today: it was much more dangerous. I rode the subway system at all hours. I never had a problem, but I never looked for it either. I believe that Mr. Goetz...

Writing as a lawyer, my thought is that you need a lawyer before you and your wife make any decisions. As was pointed out earlier, you should have a lawyer from your own state who can advise you on the laws of your state as well as the federal laws. It will be small price to pay given the...

A good article. I think the historical race-based restrictions on RKBA is a useful tool for discussion with folks who support individual rights under the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th amendments but have not yet come around on the 2nd. It provides context for the history of state restriction on the...

I am delighted with the McDonald decision. It is no real surprise and I am glad that the Court did the right thing. I also agree with the Court and with dirtymike, who posted above, that restrictions will exist and that is not necessarily a bad thing (of course the devil is always in the...

Sanmarcosmom: I am so sorry to read about your family's loss. It is good to know that your son is coping. As the father of a ten year old boy and seven year old girl, I know that I am completely responsible when I am teaching them to shoot. At these ages, any mistakes that they make are not...

Speaking as a lawyer: get a lawyer! The following is from the NYPD website on obtaining a firearms license. I can only imagine that a conviction for this offense would be worse than a dismissal and may either put your current license in jeopardy or may harm your chances of getting one in...

not worried "There is no question, after Heller, that the Second Amendment guarantees Americans 'the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.'" I am writing as a left of center, Obama voter, who believes that RTKBA is a fundamental and constitutionally...
