R.I.P. Scout26
Yesterday, the SA County sheriff announced that he would not be appealing the decision and asking for the entire Ninth Circuit (en banc) court to take up the case. Other parties, such as the state of California, may do so, however.
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
Default "Sua Sponte"That is fancy lawyer talk for saying the Ninth Circuit itself can decide to rehear the case en banc, regardless of whether Sheriff Gore asks for review. The Court's deadline to make that decision is March 6. We will keep everyone posted as things are learned. Also keep an eye out for an FAQ our office will be releasing shortly about what the decision means legally and practically.
In rereading my post I should have been more clear, any judge has until March 6 to petition en banc review. My post made it sounds like the Court would make a decision by that date. But, we should at least know something about the future of this case by that date.__________________
The problem they are now facing is that just 14% of the US population now lives in 8 7 "may-issue" states. With about half that pop actually within DC, Baltimore, Boston, and NYC. Their constituency is regional and isolated.Further, "states" isn't really an accurate measure as Connecticutt and most of the the counties of Mass and NYS are "will-issue" in practice. Their only significant state with "no-issue" is NJ. Even Delaware issues.That CCW map showing the states changing color? We really need one breaking out "Will" and "Won't" issue counties in the hold-out may-issue states. Make it clear how geographically irrelevent they are.

Hawaii. And IL until recently.Similar to the "red state/blue state" resolved into counties. Except that the blue gets its way.
The antis are losing on carry and carry is the key to removing every other gun restriction.
Why do you say that? Is it because it normalizes guns in everyday life? Because predictions of Wild West shoot-outs are always shown to be nonsense?
Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.
Viking - The problem with the modern world is that there aren't really any predators eating stupid people.
I read somewhere else that all sorts of antis are coming out asking for an en banc hearing, including the Brady Campaign.
I never heard of any real issues until just a few years ago, and I've spent huge amounts of time living and working in the NF.But now I'm not sure that I even want to go camping on NF again ... There was an incident in MT with a local couple and their kids. Woman in unmarked pickup and coat covering uniform tries to search and then arrest/kidnap the wife who was sitting in a pickup alongside the road. Husband comes back from hunting about then. I would have killed her. I still haven't heard how the case worked out in the end.

Looks like they pled out to a misdemeanor: http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/roundup-couple-admit-to-misdemeanors-in-confrontation-with-forest-service/article_c48fb156-397a-5143-925a-723b3f1a0689.htmlOf course I have no idea what actually happened, but according to their earlier accounts there was no indication the person was an officer of any kind. Apparently it is now some sort of probably cause to park your vehicle on a FS road More of the original story:http://undercoverlawyer.com/forums/showthread.php?5627-Outrage-in-Roundup-Mother-of-Twins-Sexually-Assaulted-by-Montana-Forest-Service
How is the trooper(?) still alive. Husband saw wife bent over the tailgate by unknown male from +/_ a hundred yards. Husband is armed w/ a rifle. Unless there's an obvious Heimlich being administered, Who wastes the time to close the yardage on a possibly (evidently) armed assailant?
Two versions differ a bit. I bet the other cops were all out of line too? They always picked on this poor couple?
