Together with other plaintiffs, we challenged New York\u2019s blanket ban on out-of-state residents being able to obtain a concealed carry permit \u2013 or, to ensure New York honors out-of-state permits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our lawsuit apparently struck a nerve, and encouraged NYC to start issuing permits to out-of-state residents, which are good throughout the entire state!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>That means, with the necessary permits, a gun owner should be able to travel from Florida to Maine with their concealed carry firearm on their hip.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Previously, one would have to speed through New York and not take bathroom breaks, with their firearm locked and unloaded in the trunk \u2013 if they wanted to abide by the law.<\/p>\n<p>Even though our case has encouraged New York to start issuing permits, our legal challenge continues. <strong>Our attorneys are currently taking depositions against the NY state police and other defendants in the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Things are even more extreme in California, which unlike New York, just flat out DENIES anyone out of state the ability to apply for a permit\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8230;That is, until GOA and the California Rifle and Pistol Association joined together to take action.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In our California case, <em>CRPA v. LASD<\/em>, the judge wrote that the state of California FAILED to demonstrate why they infringe on the constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms for citizens visiting the state.<\/p>\n<p>As a consequence, California must now allow out-of-state residents the ability to apply for a permit.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, plaintiffs in our case are meeting with the state to submit a proposed order enjoining the law.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Of course, your God-given rights don\u2019t end where another state begins. You shouldn\u2019t even need a permit to prove your right to exercise the Second Amendment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>But until constitutional carry reciprocity is enacted, we will keep fighting in every single state to protect your ability to freely carry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For instance, in New Jersey, we are challenging the state\u2019s pistol purchase permit law, the state\u2019s one-gun-a-month law, and the six-month delays in obtaining permits.<\/p>\n<p>In Florida \u2013 <em>which you\u2019d expect to be a pro-gun state<\/em> \u2013 we are challenging the state\u2019s ban on open carry. There are only three other states in the nation where open carry is fully prohibited \u2013 New York, Illinois, and California. There is absolutely no excuse for Florida to be on that list.<\/p>\n<p>And in New Mexico, the governor declared gun violence to be a \u201cpublic health emergency\u201d and used that as an excuse to SUSPEND the Second Amendment rights of the state\u2019s citizens last year.<\/p>\n<p>Within 24 hours, our legal team fought back by filing a lawsuit against the ban in federal court \u2013 and won a temporary restraining order.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the Governor has revised her executive action, and so GOA continues to battle her carry ban in the courts. This week, one of our attorneys will be participating in oral arguments in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in our continuing challenge to block the Governor\u2019s efforts to restrict the right to bear arms.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in Illinois, the trial challenging the state\u2019s ban on commonly owned semi-automatic firearms and standard capacity magazines has begun.<\/p>\n<p>In April of 2023, we won a preliminary injunction that blocked Illinois from enforcing their ban after U.S. District Judge Stephen P. McGlynn agreed that we were likely to succeed in our claim that state law violates the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>But then, the Seventh Circuit ruled that the law was constitutional and did not violate the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>While the Supreme Court initially rejected our request for them to review the Seventh Circuit\u2019s ruling, this case may still very well end up at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As Justice Thomas wrote, \u201cIf the Seventh Circuit ultimately allows Illinois to ban America&#8217;s most common civilian rifle, we can\u2014and should\u2014review that decision once the cases reach a final judgment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, we\u2019re fighting anti-gunners all across America!<\/p>\n<p><strong>But YOUR generous support ensures that we can stay in ALL of these fights until the bitter end and declare VICTORY for your God-given rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/links.gunowners.org\/u\/click?_t=9eecc33c6c1b40cf9ba24a311369bddc&amp;_m=bbe241e404164dd4b399d5d3e8f07f30&amp;_e=XFKo0o-AwaUKd93aDTLh7eq1NhiGXbk-JqN6pjXZTasocVgipohRO1cE0uzzlTGUYCaJHa7sSATPBydSRcE9J850wlv8Wk32YOE35PGhb82qzKGgjUY8ulynvTEfSev1o2QeLXe5luS-DVW7qmLORLJZNhlEtPUBrIp4DyvBcDR5ujgeaTNTB4-uvrZF1RR8qEMjVOlRWGWxq3WvEmdn5xUe53zIWf-4MN-ZVHk6ewX_GMr3RrA5Vy92VJyLFnHIOeZWqA-kMUs1qWvmK-ImHQ%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">So, if you can, please make a contribution to our Legal Defense Fund to help us stay in the fight to protect YOUR God-given rights.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunowners.org\/na092524\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an unearthed video, Kamala Harris threatened to enter your \u201clocked home\u201d to see if you\u2019re complying with her unconstitutional gun laws.
