In the 2008 District of Columbia v. Heller U.S. Supreme Court decision, Justice Antonin Scalia contemplated potential location restrictions governments could impose on the exercise of Second Amendment rights. Justice Scalia noted that the Heller decision’s determination that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms did not cast doubt on the validity of “laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings.”

Another Second Amendment case remanded by the Supreme Court has come back with the same conclusion. On Monday, a Third Circuit panel reaffirmed its decision to block a Pennsylvania ban on open carry by 18-to-20-year-olds during declared emergencies. By a 2-1 vote, the panel found the ban violated the Second Amendment. The majority said, upon review, it properly followed the Supreme Court’s precedents in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen and US v. Rahimi. |

I predict the new EOTech Vudu 3-9x32 riflescope will be the hot optic of 2025 because of its unprecedented combination of size and performance. There is nothing else like it on the market. I think it is going to be “the” medium power variable optic – think, “the new ACOG.” |

A 2-1 ruling by a Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel Monday has given young adults in Pennsylvania a victory in a challenge of the state’s prohibition on open carry of firearms by people in the 18-20-year age group during a declared state of emergency.
It was a case brought by the Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition and three private citizens. The case is known as Madison Lara v. Commissioner Pennsylvania State Police. |

On Jan. 7, two interstate commercial truck drivers filed a complaint in the Federal District Court for the District of Minnesota. The lawsuit contends Minnesota and, in particular, the commissioner for the Department of Public Safety, is infringing on the exercise of their Second Amendment rights by not recognizing their right to bear arms across state lines. |

The standard S&W Model 1854 lever-action rifle is now chambered in .357 Magnum, available with either checkered walnut or M-LOK-compatible synthetic furniture. Smith went back to its roots with the Model 1854 cowboy gun last year, debuting the lever-action rifle in .44 Magnum/Special, soon followed by the classic .45 Colt. Now, the model will also be available starting in 2025 in a .357 Magnum/.38 Special chambering, an option previously just available on the new Model 1854 Stealth Hunter. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
