🇩🇪 Germany has made public burning of the EU flag or that of another country punishable by up to three years in jail, classing it as a hate crime. 🇺🇸 In the United States the Supreme Court has recognized that the First Amendment protects certain forms of symbolic speech that when a flag is privately owned, the owner should be able to burn it if the owner chooses, especially if this action is meant in the form of protest. 🪧 🤔 What are your thoughts?

Imagine that you were forced to wear shoes every day that were either 2 sizes too big or too small! Property fitting body armor is as fundamental to daily life as shoes for the average citizen! Furthermore, imagine the shoe industry only produced and expected that all women wear men’s shoes that were 2 sizes too big or too small! Properly fitting body armor is ESPECIALLY fundamental to the safety and ability for female agents/officers to properly execute their duties; especially over the course of their career! Contact your legislators and add your voice to this conversation and vital cause! Demand that our female civil servants, who protect our communities and nation every moment of every day, have the SIMPLE and ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT as properly fitting body armor! Remember that THIS equipment is IMPERATIVE for THEIR PROTECTION! Be part of a movement that helps to insure that ALL AGENTS/OFFICERS go home to their loved ones each day!

Previously in part one, criminal-defense attorney Don Hammond explained why, post-Bruen, states may no longer impose discretionary constraints in concealed-carry permitting regimes. But will that change after the Supreme Court’s recent 8-1 decision in Rahimi, holding that a restraining order prohibiting a particularly violent actor from possessing firearms was consistent with the Second Amendment tests under Heller and Bruen? Rahimi, when attempting to comport it with Heller and Bruen, gets a bit confusing—so what are lower courts to do with it? But one thing Rahimi did emphasize is the actual violence Rahimi committed—so would California’s authorization of disarming restraining orders merely to protect “mental calm” pass muster? Then we circle back and ask: if the Legislature amended the CCW laws to make nondisclosure a ground for denying a CCW, would that pass muster under Rahimi? The answer seemed easy a few weeks ago, but is suddenly a bit more difficult. #AppellateLinkedIn

Test your knowledge: Are minors entitled to full rights enumerated in the Constitution? Can you justify your position? … If your answer is yes, then why aren’t 10-year-olds allowed to purchase firearms? Doesn’t the 2nd Amendment declare they have the right to bear arms? If your answer is no, how do you explain your answer? My response: Minors are not fully sovereign adults. They are still wards of their parents (guardians). They are not fully entitled to nor responsible for the rights entitled to a fully sovereign citizen of the United States. In most cases, who is legally liable for the actions of a minor? The minor’s legal guardian (parent). Do you agree or disagree with my assertion? Feel free to leave a comment.
