Constitutional Law

Lively legislative season

in North Dakota, a bill to forbid employers from stopping employees from having firearms in their parked, locked vehicles has passed the House.

In Montana, a Senate committee has approved a bill to allow concealed carry without a permit.

Linn County, Iowa, has voted to allow concealed carry in parks and most other county property.

Ohioans for Concealed Carry sued Youngstown, Ohio over a ban on gun dealerships, and lost, because the city quickly repealed the ban.

UPDATE: and to cap off the day, the Utah governor signed its knife preemption statute, which has Knife Rights rejoicing.

It's quite different from 20-30 years ago, when the legislative action consisted of waiting periods here and AW bans there and California initiatives to ban handguns, etc., etc.
