[squidvt]

Yes.

I think gunbroker is going to get really busy, and the MDA's will explode with "buying guns online with out a backround check"

Interesting (to me) historical side-note regarding "non-resident" firearm possession. In the 1800s (specifically, I think it was the 1850s), Indiana had a regulation that "travelers" could not carry concealed firearms. Not clear whether that was inter- or intra-state travelers.

Back to the opinion - I like the strict scrutiny standard. That bodes well.

Unconstitutional as written, and as applied - that's a good thing.

Alternative findings - the judge is trying to make the opinion appeals-proof. That's good.

Ought to be interesting.

There was an M&P Shield at the BX at Wright-Patt for 319.00 I really wanted to get but couldn't, maybe someday?

In 1820 Indiana adopted a Southern tradition of prohibiting the concealed carry of firearms. The exception was for traveling. Concealment equated to criminal intent a la the Town of Speedway.

The way to read this order is to skip to the conclusion and work backward.

So, look at a(3) and b(3) and the cfr and see what has been declared unconstitutional. What does it mean? Well, under this ruling, while visiting Pennsylvania to see my brother, if I see a pistol I like, I can buy it from an FFL and bring it back to Indiana.

It's not a final order, meaning it is not appealable yet. (Will be soon).

I would anticipate DoJ taking this all the way up and staying the District Court order (asking that the order be stayed rather).

In a nutshell, celebrate, but don't be making any gun shop tours of the Midsouth or Midwest this Spring.

This would be great. I travel all over and now I could buy at shops if. See a pistol I like.

You can do this now. However, there is a lot of "have your people call my people". If this decision is upheld, it will be a lot cleaner.

We're all "hoping for change" here!

What do you mean "your people"?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

What do you mean "your people"?

Well, in this context, it means "your FFL" call "my FFL".

Here is a well-known INGOer who pretends to be a pharmacist but is actually a FFL:

I know.
It was a joke that obviously failed.

Don't worry, she loves me.

This is good news! The Court recognized that involving a second FFL achieves no real purpose other than to burden peoples rights under the 2nd Amendment and to burden interstate commerce.

It is a step toward recognizing that the 2A should be given a broad interpretation and that federal courts should recognize and protect the people's rights under the 2A.

That is how I read it, anyhow.

 

[BigMoose]

This would be awesome. Could see this being a massive online sales BOOM.

 

[CathyInBlue]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. When can we see a return of mail-order firearm sales?

Well, you know . . . you can do that now.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Which judge can we get to say it's an infringement on me being able to buy a machine gun and that tax stamps are akin to pole taxes in that they prevent the poor from enjoying their 2A rights to bear the arms of their choosing?
