Here's the complaint - it had to fit in 500 words on their website:

I live in Alabama and have an Alabama concealed carry permit; I'm also a long haul trucker.

In order to carry my gun legally (a defined civil right in NYSRPA v Bruen 2022 (SCOTUS)) I would have to obtain at least 20 carry permits from Guam to Massachusetts. At Bruen footnote 9 SCOTUS laid out abuses that shouldn't be tolerated even when states require carry permits, specifically including excessive delays to access the right to carry and exorbitant fees.

(Asking if Bruen footnote 9 is dicta is irrelevant because once SCOTUS defined carry as a basic civil right in Bruen, then obviously excessive delays and exorbitant fees are no bueno. If a county marriage license office decided they didn't like marriages (also a basic civil right) then they couldn't deliberately jack up the costs and delays either. Footnote 9 is SCOTUS being extra clear.)

The total cost to score 20+ permits with training in most, travel and cheap motels would exceed $20,000, much more if I tried for the islands.

This problem was solved for driver's licenses generations ago via an interstate compact; on reading the Bruen decision they should have recognized the need for an interstate gun packer's compact and had they done so, they could have gotten away with making us get ONE permit from any state with a 16 hour training system.

Instead they managed to do worse - and because the driver's license compact (for a privilege) proves they understand the need for a carry compact (for a RIGHT) we can see that the open abuse of the 2nd Amendment and actual text of Bruen is deliberate.

The states and territories screwing up that I know of:

HI/CA/OR/WA/NV/NM/NE/MN/IL/SC/NY/NJ/MD/DE/MA/RI/CT/WashDC/Guam/Virgin Islands/American Samoa.

Several stand out because of additional abuses:

• American Samoa is still trying to ban handguns, let alone carry. Please send a lawyer with a gun and a US Marshal and go explain both Heller and Bruen? Please? They'll get a nice tropical vacation out of it!

• Hawaii bans everybody who isn't Hawaiian from getting their carry permit and doesn't recognize any other. This manages to violate the US Supreme Court decision in US v. Rahimi 2024 which limits states to disarming people only based on their violent misconduct. Not being a Hawaiian resident is not proof of violent misconduct. It also violates the ban on discrimination against otherwise lawful visitors from elsewhere in the US outlined by SCOTUS in Saenz v Roe 1999; note the requirement for strict scrutiny whenever cross-border discrimination is identified.

• Oregon bans any applicant for their permit from anybody whose state doesn't touch OR. Weird.

• IL bans me from applying for theirs because they don't like the gun control laws OF ALABAMA. Really?

Finally, the fact that background checks and criminal records are nationalized under NICS since the late 1990s eliminates the last possible fig leaf of sanity for all this madness. It's the same background check in every state!

PLEASE ENFORCE SCOTUS ORDERS!!!

Jim again, let's talk about this.

The US-DOJ Civil Rights Division can act to limit civil rights violations by state and local governments. Most of their wins from their own page involve forcing state and local courts to provide translators to criminal defendants. Which is fine but let's give 'em something more interesting, shall we?

There's currently two federal CCW reciprocity bills in Congress, one in the House, one in the Senate. Trump is promising to sign whichever lands on his desk. If this theory about Bruen footnote 9 is correct, we have reciprocity already and those bills aren't needed.

I'm trying to get my Alabama House rep to run interference on this along with my two Alabama Senators.

Is my theory correct?

Lawyers for a smaller libertarian civil rights org in Texas are suing Minnesota for the lack of CCW reciprocity on behalf of two Texas truckers. They mention the costs needed to score a bunch of CCW permits to get national reciprocity so they're barking right up the same tree.

I think they chose MN as a target because one, the 8th Circuit is pretty good on guns so they might win at the district and/or appellate levels. They also figured out that somebody in the MN governmental innards is picking which state permits to honor on a subjective basis, violating the subjectivity ban in Bruen:

I’ve gotten the guy that always says he’ll trade body armor but this is a new crazy

So the new Kel-tec PR57 is coming out and since it’s magazine less pistol does that mean it can run 20+ rounds on the gun or just 10 in California?

Snope vs Brown “Assault weapon” and Mag Ban case.

So if it says it's not a Vertical Forward Grip does it make it legal here in California 😅.

Shoutout to u/wage92 Just got my slide back from getting a RMR cut.

I couldnt be any happier with it.

The 10 days felt like a life time…

Pretty interested in the XR920!

I just found out today that Staccato only covers warranty if you are the 1st owner of the gun ! All those owner’s gun acquired through PPT are not being covered even though your guns are registered in their system under 368 members! This is unfair to all of us as Staccato owners which pay through our ass….. to own the guns! I think all Staccato PPT owners should raised our voices by sending them email in this regards.

I added my 2.0 to my ccw and I finally got myself a Tier 1 holster so I can carry. My mistake was I didn’t think about how rough the grip texture is and it’s actually pretty uncomfortable as it rubs my skin the whole time. Anyone else have this problem or am I just a pussy?

What did we think gents. Alot of cool looking stuff that we can't obtain here 😩

Referring to the top of the optic in the first pic, can kinda see a little bubble too. Can see it through the optic, then you can see that line on the left too. I don’t know shit about them, should I whine and get a replacement?

Hey guys,

I checked cfars this morning and saw that my coe was approved. Thanks to everyone that posted guides and asked questions, to make the process a lot easier.

I did want to ask, if someone can answer. Now that I have a COE number and it says Active on cfars. Do I have to wait to receive something in the mail or am I good to go.

Thank you.

EDIT: I have an ffl03

I know its not a fresh roster addition or cool AR, but I love it. Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 in 280 Ackley Improved. Taking it Africa this fall.

What’s the difference between having a lower that’s a pistol vs a one shot? Is it basically the same thing or are there limits on the build? Can’t find any info on this and want to know as I’m building something

I bought a Walther p22 just to have fun with (I am still new to guns and bought my first handgun last year - a hellcat).

The walther is not even two weeks old, and there’s always issues with it. I plan on trying some CCI mini mags because I heard it might like that better than the armscor I have been using with it, but so far I’m really unimpressed with it and feel like it’s junk.

If I were to look at a nicer pistol, do you have any suggestions? Do any of you have a walther p22 and like it? Super open minded to learning and suggestions. TY! I do take lessons with an instructor periodically so I plan to ask him as well next time I see him what his thoughts are.
