SAF, Alan Gura, sue over Maryland carry permit denial
Story here. Again, a careful choice of plaintiff, facts, and law. Plaintiff had a permit to carry after his house was broken into; then renewal was denied for lack of demonstrated cause, even though the perp is now out of prison and living a few miles away.
And to think -- it was only a few years ago that Brady and others were suing gun manufacturers right and left, as part of a campaign to bankrupt the industry, a campaign that had a good chance of succeeding. Today, they're on the defensive (to the extent they act at all) and the progun side is on the offense. Since almost all of it has occurred over the last month or so, it's more than an offense, it's a legal blitzkrieg. | Lott takes apart antis' claims about CCW permittees

Complaint here, in pdf. The new California statute requires handgun ammunition to be sold face-to-face, with ID from the purchaser, and delivered at his address to himself and no one else.
Plaintiffs challenge this as violating the Federal Aviation Admin. Authorization Act of 1994, which pre-empted State regulation of interstate carriers' prices, routes, and services. The Federal standards do not require packages of ammunition to be marked as such, let alone impose the California requirements. Plaintiffs argue that the California statute would require carriers to determine which packages contain ammunition, and to deliver in accord with its terms -- determine if the recipient is exempt, and if not, deliver only to him and record his ID. | Interview with plaintiffs in Westchester County case
