On a related issue, DC's "Good Reason" requirement for a carry permit was invalidated today by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.

The following is a link to the decision:
https://www.marylandshallissue.org/jmain/documents/public/36-wrenngracedecision/file

"We vacate both orders below and remand with instructions
to enter permanent injunctions against enforcement of the
District’s good-reason law."


The judge who issued the opinion is an excellent writer, very clear with little legalese.
He deserves to be the next one nominated for SCOTUS.
Here’s the real issue: when your religion is government, and government is god, you cannot tolerate any other God before it

The links at the bottom did not come over from the email.  You'll have to google the title to get the link.  Sorry.


Dear Radnor:
This week, our research was discussed on ABC's “The View”, Fox News' “The Five”, and “Fox & Friends”.  The Washington Post and Foxnews.com have run news stories on our research.  The Chicago Tribune published our op-ed on how Democrats pass laws making gun ownership too expensive for poor people. Other op-eds appeared at The Hill and Fox News.  We also appeared on Fox Business and on Turkish Worldwide Television.  See the links below
As if all that weren’t enough, our crimeresearch.org website now exceeds NRA.org and Bloomberg's Everytown.org in web traffic.  While the CPRC’s website ranks at 16,542, the NRA’s is 20,279 and Everytown’s isn’t even close at 73,973.  Pretty amazing.
In mid-September, the US House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings on a concealed handgun reciprocity bill which will make concealed carry permits valid across state lines (like driver’s licenses).  Most states already accept out-of-state concealed handgun permits, but eight heavily Democratic states do not.  If reciprocity becomes law, people in those states will quickly learn how unjustified their fears of permit holders are.
While the House of Representatives seems destined to pass reciprocity, two or three Democratic Senators will need to be swayed if we are to overcome the promised Democratic filibuster.
I need your help.  We need to raise money for public relations so that we can keep educating others.  And we still need to do some more research.
— Gun control organizations are using new research by John Donohue, a Stanford law professor, to claim that right-to-carry laws increase the number of aggravated assaults (and thus violent crime in general).  The debate up to this point has been over complex statistical issues, but there is also a simple way of responding to the claim in one or two simple sentences.   Donohue’s assumption is that permit holders are committing these crimes, but we are looking at the actual data on aggravated assaults by permit holders in each state.  I have already collected this data for some states, but we need it for the others so that we can assuage the fears of concerned voters and politicians. 
The other claim is that guns are being stolen from permit holders’ cars and then used to commit crimes.  Donohue's supposed anecdotes were in fact simply made up, but I would like to have some solid data on this issue.  We have just begun collecting data. 
— The Violence Policy Center has claimed that 230 permit holders have been convicted of murder in the past 10 years.  From the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal, the media keeps using the VPC reports.  But some of those 230 cases didn’t even involve permit holders.  And I have shown that in a few states, the VPC double, triple, or even quadruple-counted certain cases.  Furthermore, news stories aren't always reliable.  To come up with a more accurate number, the VPC would need to do FOIA requests and contact defense attorneys.
I have an idea for research that I think will make a real difference in the reciprocity debate. However, I don't want to publicly reveal this yet.
My best guess is that I could accomplish all of this for about $30,000. At this late date, some of the research won’t be completed until the Senate has already started to take up the reciprocity issue.   However, whatever funding we get will determine how much of this we get done before debate really begins.  With a Republican House and Senate, as well as a President who strongly supports this legislation, we have a unique chance to quickly do some really useful research.

In a significant portent of progress, the House Judiciary Chairman, Bob Goodlatte is the latest cosponsor of HR 38. HR 38 is currently in the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations.

Here is an article saying the reason the bill has not moved is Speaker Ryan.  It includes Ryan's phone number so we can call and, politely, ask that he move on this bill, HR38, and have a floor vote by the full House membership.

Also, on the Senate side, Sen Bill Cassidy (R-LA) signed on as a ci-sponsor of S 446, the Senate version of The National Consealed Carry reciprocity Act of 2017. He is the 38th co-sponsor. Mitch McConnell is the "gatekeeper" on the Senate floor, and as Paul Ryan is on the House side, The one keeping the Bill off the floor for a up or down vote. McConnell and Ryan both need to be ousted in the next election cycle.

Politico has published an article that says the SHARE bill (including suppressors) may be for a floor vote as early as next week and HR38 (National Carry Reciprosity) may be voted on in October or November.  Keep in mind, it is Politico.
