Senator Tester doesn’t like the Korean Garand situation:

Senator Jon Tester is introducing legislation to allow American-made guns that were given or sold to a foreign government to be re-imported and sold in the U.S.

Tester’s Collectible Firearms Protection Act comes days after he pushed the U.S. State Department to reconsider a decision denying the proposed sale of surplus M1 Carbines and Garand rifles from South Korea to qualified American buyers. Many collectors consider the firearms antiques.

Under Tester’s new bill, firearms that are lawfully possessed by a foreign government—and that are more than 50 years old and considered antiques or relics—may be re-imported to properly licensed groups and sold without written permission from the U.S. Departments of State or Defense.

Hey, I know that gun. And that one (note: that is actually a G30 not a 27).

Obama is just doing it more. Rather like most issues, actually.

Yobs out of control
England’s dumb gun control laws
Are kinda scoffed at

Also, it occurred to me that the fantasy vigilante movie theme always seems to occur in places where there’s a lot of gun laws. I mean, there’s never been a movie about the vigilante justice in Kennesaw, Georgia.

Then it occurred to me that there’s probably not been a movie set in Kennesaw, Georgia.

In The City (My The City) the local .gov wanted to build a bridge for our green belt. But they couldn’t afford it. But then STIMULUS!!!! happened. So, now they’ve built the bridge. They put it near some recovery.gov signs. And it’s hideously ugly. Seriously, who picks red?

In Tennessee, there is a law that states the local chief law enforcement must, within 15 days, sign off on paperwork for NFA weapons. There was a case in 2007 where a sheriff refused to sign this paperwork.

This is happening again. Everyone’s favorite local gun guy Leonard Embody (who took a jaunt through a park with an AK pistol, sued the state for taking his carry license, and had a Belle Meade law overturned) filled out all the paperwork and jumped through all the appropriate hoops to purchase a suppressor. But Williamson County Sheriff Jeff Long refused to give the forms law enforcement sign off. Embody is suing. He emailed me some court documents. And has posted them here. Leonard emails that the sheriff is trying to have the chancellor declare the law unconstitutional and the Attorney general is most likely in agreement due to his recent opinion on the subject. See page 19. Looks like the AG is stating that the certification is false.

Some discussion at this subguns thread, with concern that this could lead to bad case law.

This will be an interesting case to watch.

You know, despite my problems with Embody’s methodology, he’s quite effective.

The ridiculous notion that allowing concealed carry in a restaurant creates an unsafe workplace was shot down by the DOL. I found this bit odd:

“This should not be con sid ered a prece dent,” Hentschel said. “Each guns-in-bars com plaint will be ana lyzed separately.”

I guess they want to keep hearing complaints?

The state needs revenue and wants to charge $500 for a license to carry. But the bill seems to be shall issue.

From PDB. There’s always the next big cartridge that’s going to replace the 5.56. But it doesn’t happen. And won’t until either a significant number of law enforcement agencies or the military switch.

Joe and Sebastian on why the Mexican gun canard. And:

You’d think if this were such a huge problem, you’d be able to find at least one stash of firearms being smuggled, let alone being able to find a single gun.

You would think that. Instead, we can find evidence of raids on police armories.

No Guns No Business. Pretty neat:

If permit holders eat out an average of $7 per day that’s $6356 restaurants are losing to permit neutral restaurants.

Heh.

In Texas:

An American tourist was shot in the back of the head in Mexican waters on Thursday after being ambushed by armed boaters, a Texas sheriff said. It happened on a lake where run-ins with pirates had already put fishermen and Texas officials on alert.

Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said a 30-year-old man and his wife were riding jet skis back from Mexico when about six gunmen approached in two boats. Gonzalez said the man was shot as the couple sped away.
