With the post Nordyke gathering filling up I figure those of us in Denver on the 19th shouldn't let them be the only ones having fun after the arguments. Even if every one of us goes its still just a small handful so there's no need for anything elaborate. So who's up for some drinks or something?

If I could have a rough number of people there, I might be able to set something up for you.

I'll leave the time estimate to somebody with a better idea of how long arguments will run. As for people, I'll be there with a plus one.

That's what I was thinking. You can't throw a rock from the courthouse steps without hitting a restaurant or bar that would work perfectly for our size of party. (In fact we could go ahead and do that to decide where to go at the last minute .) I just wanted to be sure everyone would be joining in.

Things at work turned around, real quick!
I not only will be there, but on Tuesday, I'll get to hear Alan Gura's presentation at the Wyoming School of Law in Laramie! Quote:

I'm at the Monaco and we'll all be gathering Sunday evening for dinner and then adult libations into the evening. If one is in Denver, reach out to Gray or I to find out where we've ended up Sunday evening.

I was going, had my reservation, hotel and everything, but things sort of fell apart and I couldn't go. Nordyke it is though...
If Peterson goes to SCOTUS, it's SCOTUS for sure. Erik. |

Coffee is almost brewed... I'll be on the road, shortly.

Bummer. You were missed last night. Nordyke should be a good time though.

I've been reading the posts of an incisive writer at mdshooters.com, jpk1md.
Jpk asks a very simple question: Where does the U.S. Constitution give the U.S. government the authority to force a state to accept another state's handgun permit? After all, the state-to-state acceptance of drivers licenses was accomplished by agreement of the states, not by federal imposition. As clearly no such authority is granted, the relief sought in this case appears to usurp the 10th Amendment. It appears far more likely that the U.S. court will overturn Denver's ban on open carry than it will be to compel Colorado to accept foreign permits. The latter outcome would be welcome, but we have to guard against activist judges and the erosion of state's rights in the presence of an activist bench. While we may agree with what an activist judge may do to our state, today, once that monster is unleashed, we may not agree with the loss of our state sovereignty, tomorrow. |

But the courts have said, again and again, including in Heller, that there's no right under the Second Amendment to carry a concealed weapon.

Then open carry. I believe Grays case is based on carry more than how to carry. Gray knows the states can choose under current regs.

If a state were deciding from which states synagogues or churches import hire pastors or rabbis to speak, or denying speaking rights to non-residents, it would absolutely fall in the federal government purview. Imagine if a state legislature passed a law which said 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights don't apply to non-residents. Would THAT be the business of the federal government? How, then is 2nd amendment infringement a state's rights issue?
