Dean Weingarten has a good find at Ammoland.
Judge Eduardo Ramos, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, has issued an Opinion & Order that a ban on stun guns is constitutional. A New York State law prohibits the private possession of stun guns and tasers; a New York City law prohibits the possession and selling of stun guns. Judge Ramos has ruled these laws do not infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

Know your topography. Carry a compass. Have maps. Carry a heavy rubberized poncho. Carry a parka. Use high quality hiking boots. Carry cordage (I intend to purchase Amsteel cordage rather than 550 cord). Carry a large bore handgun. Carry plenty of water and a filter. Carry energy bars. Carry a knife, and carry a headlamp or tactical light. Carry fully redundant, independent means of fire start.
Even if you’re going out for the afternoon. One afternoon can turn into a week alone.

COLUMBIA, SC (WCIV) — South Carolina’s legislature has passed a bill changing state gun laws to allow open carry of guns for people who completed training and pass a background check.
The state’s House of Representatives passed the “Open Carry With Training” bill by an 83-34 vote on Wednesday, following the state Senate’s approval of the bill a week earlier.
With the General Assembly’s approval, the bill now heads to Gov. Henry McMaster’s desk for his signature. The governor has said he will sign it.

But with the usual barrel length of these guns at 28″ – 30″, it seems these are fowling pieces, not really suitable for turkey hunting. Why wouldn’t you choose a shorter barrel and use a choke for a more all-purpose shotgun?
Ilion, N.Y. — The Remington Arms factory in the Herkimer County village of Ilion has reopened, eight months after its previous owner closed the plant and laid off more than 700 workers.
Richmond Italia, managing partner for RemArms owner Roundhill Group LLC, said in an email that the company has called back 230 workers to the factory, with plans for starting production with the Model 870 shotgun line, according to the Times Telegram.
Phil Smith, director of communications and governmental affairs for the United Mine Workers of America, said 120 hourly workers are among those who have been called back to work.
The reopening comes a little more than a month after the union announced it had reached an agreement with Roundhill that recognizes the union as the hourly employees’ collective bargaining agent when they return to work, establishes a recall process for more former Remington workers to be called back, and sets up a 60-day timeframe for the parties to begin negotiating a full labor contract.
Well that all sounds depressing. A union is still in control, they will negotiate a contract, and their main product is going to be the 870, which will have to compete with both new and time-honored shotguns from Savage, Beretta, Benelli, and others.
President Vladimir Putin expressed condolences to the victims on Monday and immediately ordered authorities to tighten up gun regulations.
Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin had ordered the head of Russia’s National Guard that oversees gun ownership to develop new rules for the type of weapons civilians are permitted to possess. Peskov said the change was needed to address to assault weapons sometimes being improperly classed as hunting rifles.
Russia’s National Guard quickly said it would fulfil Putin’s order to develop the new rules in coordination with other government bodies.
Sounds like something you’d hear from the American communists.
TALLAHASSEE — Amid a legal battle that could be decided by the Florida Supreme Court, Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a measure that will ratchet up a ban on local gun regulations.
DeSantis signed the bill (SB 1884) on Friday after the Republican-controlled Legislature passed it in party-line votes late last month. The bill, which will take effect July 1, will broaden a 2011 law that can make local governments pay as much as $100,000 in damages if they are sued for imposing gun regulations.
This is Florida’s preemption law, and this is a good thing. I’m impressed with DeSantis, but my next question is this: where is your open carry law, Ron?
I know you’re dealing with ninnies in the House and Senate, but you could do this if you wanted to. Simply refuse to sign all other bills that come to your desk until an open carry law comes your way, even at the threat of shutting down the government because of funding bills.
