    SOMETHING WE MAY HAVE MISSED IN HELLER - Lawyers please chime in...

    Folks, In doing some research I needed a copy of the USSC Heller decision that was authoritative and could be cited for page number references, etc. So I came across this: http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/07-290.ZS.html Cornell law library online, not too shabby. That direct link is to...

    Draft pleading in a contemplated California CCW lawsuit...

    Yeah, back at it maybe. This one is with a serious twist though. Comments welcome, including "is this approach a good idea?" I *think* I have 'em dead to rights, esp. on the Ward and Saenz case law.

    Really interesting vintage Charter Arms encountered...in a good way :)

    So I'm at the gun show today with an older lady whose computer I work on. She needs to buy a basic defense piece. We look at one table and spot a vintage Charter Arms 38 snubbie (2" barrel). Marked $200, it appears at first to be in decent condition - very minor holster wear indicates it...

    DOES HELLER RECOGNIZE A RIGHT TO CARRY ARMS!? - article

    See attached. The first four pages covers that issue. The support for a right to carry in Heller is MUCH more powerful than it appears at first; you have to look at Scalia's citations to really get the full picture. HELL yeah. There's also three pages of "what can we do with that right...

    Next step post-Heller: the 14A Incorporation issue. Details :)

    Attached find three solid days of work explaining EXACTLY how incorporation works and then some. Suggestions on tweaks/corrections welcome. It's gone through one round of outside editing/corrections already. This is 16 pages of hardcore Constitutional history...but guys, this is important...

    Very interesting page on Secret Service defensive stances

    http://cryptome.org/usss-hands/usss-hands.htm Short form: somebody has noticed a pattern regarding how the US Secret Service behaves when in crowds - the hand positions noted are too uniform to be a coincidence. Many lessons here.

    A new electronic voting report - and I'm the main author...

    http://www.bbvdocs.org/sequoia/Maricopa-County-Elections-Report.pdf Yes, it's long. It's also worth reading on two grounds: This really started as a report about what election processing is like in the largest county in Arizona - 56% of the state's vote, and the 4th largest county in the...

    Bowen's new improvement to fixed-sight guns.

    There's an article up on Gunblast regarding a new Bowen SP101 project: http://gunblast.com/Bowen-SP101.htm While the gun is neat, think beyond that: what else could these sights be fitted to? Looks to me like a fairly easy way to update the sights on all sorts o' critters...I find...

    Situational awareness and a thank-you to SM

    SM's recent posts on situational awareness have been a big help. I had a recent incident right along these lines. I've been doing some freelance computer tech support lately, among friends and acquiescences...mostly those involved with election oversight, which is mainly a lefty/Dem bunch...

    Need Oregon bar-certified attorney in or near Portland

    C title...this is about a guy who was improperly ejected from public property for packing. Can't go into details in public but it's an easy "no discovery" suit. Any tips welcome. Thanks

    Need a critique: letter and public records request...

    This is something that's bothered me for a VERY long time. Thoughts welcome. The idea here is go "straight to the top" to Jerry Brown, California AG. === An Open Letter To California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown. To no one will we sell, to no one will we deny or delay right or...

    Voting Machine Wars (again) and why I'm in Virginia

    Leaving tomorrow AM for home though. Here's the fallout: http://www.bbvforums.org/cgi-bin/forums/board-auth.cgi?file=/1954/47342.html It actually reads better as a PDF, as the embedded graphic layout is much better: http://www.blackboxvoting.org/hammertime.pdf Upshot: we have...

    Rudy Giuliani weasels out of the Presidency?

    Y'all have GOT to hear this bizarre audio exchange from 1999 between The Rudy (doing his weekly radio thing as mayor) and a ferret freedom activist: http://www.oliverwillis.com/2007/02/audio_rudy_giul.html Not what I'd call "presidential material"... Full disclosure: I had ferrets many...

    An interesting ammo test: Doubletap 125gr 357 full house

    Doubletap's 125gr Gold Dot can be had loaded to about as fast as commercial 357s go. I have no doubt at least some Buffbore loads are as hot, but I doubt they exceed the Doubletaps by much in the raw horsepower field. I was invited to shoot today in an informal (legal) range out in the...

    Let's talk about mass public shootings...

    Whether or not this latest clown was a "Jihad Joe" is in my opinion irrelevant. My fear is that it will "attract" the real thing as he's proven what a single nutcase with basic pistols can do. In other words, I think he'll be emulated - in schools, shopping malls, God only knows. The US...

    So I was making myself a new holster, and... (pics included)

    ...I may have gone too far this time :). It works great. It carries my 4.68" tube Ruger New Vaquero (Colt SAA size) 357 high on the strong side, close to the body. Looks decent enough, and wouldn't be too surprising to most folks, but...somebody "in the know" would look twice I think...

    Buffalo Bore has officially released new rounds in 38/357

    Standard-pressure 38s for smaller/older/weaker guns: http://www.buffalobore.com/ammunition/default.htm#standard38 Less-bang "tactical" 357 loads: http://www.buffalobore.com/ammunition/default.htm#tactical357 ...plus lots of notes and data. My take: 38s: We already know how...

    An actual no-BS swordfight breaks out...

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,256143,00.html ...in South Carolina yet :). Some idiot goes after his ex-GF in her new boyfriend's place. Idiot charges in with a sword, homeowner grabs his :eek: and draws first blood against idiot, ending the fracas :D. No charges against defender...

    A GREAT new website by John Linebaugh

    http://www.customsixguns.net/ John Linebaugh is one of the pioneers of heavily modded Ruger SAs and is still one of the best. First thing to check out is the video - he handles the recoil of a 500 Linebaugh-converted Ruger one handed with singular grace despite the monster power on tap...

    A new thing for people into modified wheelguns

    http://gunblast.com/Freedom_NewSight.htm This new front sight can be installed by a gunsmith into just about any fixed sight revolver, DA or SA. Cosmetically it will match most guns, and it can be shaved down and cold-blued to meet most elevation needs. It won't be tall enough for most...
