Re: IN: Woman kills officer's attacker, now getting sued

Time for a little thread resurrection. The case that this thread originally described specifically led to action in the Indiana legislature. The Legislature beefed up the civil immunity for self-defense portions. Those new protections have now been tested in court. In 2020, at the hour of 3am, a man...

Re: New Mexico Carry Ban

New Mexico Shooting Sports Association has joined with GOA and SAF to sue the NM Governor. I’m sure any of the three would take a donation or a new membership to help support the lawsuit. Here’s the membership page for the NMSSA, and at the page there’s a link at the top for single donations. https:...

Re: New Mexico Carry Ban

Six lawsuits have been filed opposing her action. One of them is by a private individual, not an individual(s) plus gun rights group(s). It is my understanding that the last legislature, at the bidding of the same governor, did away with qualified immunity at the state level, so the governor can be ...

Re: TSA Approved Lock or Non-TSA Approved Lock?

… Unless you're in Indy. The case is examined back in the baggage area. If they need it opened they won't bring it out and you're not allowed back there. You must give up the keys. I have flown thru through Indy several times and this has been my experience. I haven’t flown through there since befo...

Re: TSA Approved Lock or Non-TSA Approved Lock?

This is straight off the TSA website: Only the passenger should retain the key or combination to the lock unless TSA personnel request the key to open the firearm container to ensure compliance with TSA regulations. You may use any brand or type of lock to secure your firearm case, including TSA-rec...

Re: NM: Hand gun with trigger pulled by Alec Baldwin in rehearsal kills one injures one

https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/16/entertainment/rust-shooting-gun-report-alec-baldwin/index.html No I didn’t read it wrong. The FBI broke the gun during their testing. The gun was repaired to working order and when it was the gun would not fire unless the trigger was pulled. If Baldwin was a Conservat...

Re: Texas Made Suppressor Law update

Well dang. I’ve only skimmed the opinion, but looks like case dismissed without prejudice, because the judge rules State of Texas and the individual plaintiffs have no standing to bring the suit. Someone’s going to have to get prosecuted under federal law to carry case forward appears to be what the...

Re: Texas Made Suppressor Law update

Both parties filed their motions for summary judgment by the end of May. On 06 JUN Federal District Court Judge Pittman set a hearing on the motions for 15 JUN. I thought everyone agreed to do this without appearing in court, but maybe things changed since November, or maybe I don’t understand what ...
