Not helping
A few folks who’ve been quite successful tell me that the biggest threat to gun rights are bad lawsuits. They continue to be right:
Leonard Embody Gets Court to Declare Public Parks (!!!!) are “Sensitive Places” under Heller.
I know Leonard is trying to do what he thinks is right. But let’s leave that to the experts.

Was it Experts or driven individuals who got us decent concealed carry laws in 30 something states?

That usually works, legislatively. Not in the courts.

“Sensitive Place” my ass. That’s not a “bad” lawsuit, that’s an idiot of a judge. Which isn’t to say that a better lawyer (any lawyer?) wouldn’t have had a better chance of getting the same judge to issue a more rational decision.

Well, since the pro- RKBA Laws all have to go to the Federal Court eventually, it’s too bad too many Judges are Appointed to the Bench so that they can block Freedom. Sotomayor, Ginsburg, Breyer and Barack Hussein Obama’s White House Counsel Kagen ain’t too happy about Pro-Gun Laws, you know.

Mehh, the ruling was not that bad and was much more focused on the fact that the gun in question was not a standard handgun. They cited Nordyke and another circuit ruling, both of which were before McDonald so I cant see it standing through challenges upward.

Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.
Y’all really need to consider throwing ol’ Len a blanket party.

There’s a balance to be had. And needless provocation while attempting maximum dork-hood ain’t it.

I’d like to know the definition of a “normal” or a “standard” handgun. Tennessee has one definition of a handgun and so does the federal government and neither defines “normal” or “standard”.
Gura doesn’t like that my suit for open carry will probably end up with a petition of certiorari to the USSC before his does. Then again, he probably doesn’t like open carry so he’d like to see my suit torpedoed just for that.
That’s cool, the decision will be appealed.
