Further thoughts on effects of pardons

by Of Arms and the Law April 30, 2010 Arms & The Law

Snowflakes in Hell has some thoughts on the effect of a conviction and then pardon in State A, on the person’s gun rights if he moves to State B.

I had a related issue once posed in relation to, I believe, Florida. A restoration of all civil rights, including gun rights, means a convicted person is no longer barred from gun ownership. Florida allowed such a restoration but the statute (perhaps unintentionally) allowed it only for residents. So what happens if a person is convicted and moves to another State and then asks for restoration? I think there’s a problem with Equal Protection and also with the Article IV prohibition on a State denying nonresidents the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States.

Bus passengers fight back in Belize

by Of Arms and the Law April 30, 2010 Arms & The Law

Story here, via Consul at Arms.

Two robbers hijack a moving bus in Belize; one orders the bus driver to slow and to open the door. The driver does so, whereupon a ballsy passenger gives the hijacker a kick that send him out the door. The other tries to shoot, his gun jams, and the passengers give a fatal overdose of Whupass.

Bus driver and owner: “The only decision or what I would say if they could grant me licenses for all my drivers to keep a gun on the bus for safety. That is the only way to be on the safe side.”

Suit over gun ownership by pardoned felons

by Of Arms and the Law April 30, 2010 Arms & The Law

Story here. I’d guess that the legislature forbade ownership by anyone convicted of a felony, and forgot to insert an exception for ones who are pardoned. If that’s the case, there may be an interesting separation of powers question. If the State constitution gives the governor the power to pardon, can the legislature interfere with the normal effects of that?

Humor: Right to Carry Holdouts (According to Frank J.)

The Last Holdouts on Right to Carry

Posted by Frank J. at 11:02 am

Forty states are right to carry [meaning you can carry a firearm without begging government for permission -- Ed.], leaving only ten left where those rights are infringed. In those states its either always illegal to carry or a carry permit is only given out in special circumstances and a citizen has to argue why he deserves it. It would be really nice to have all states recognize a right to carry and get a system setup so that any law-abiding American citizen could carry a gun in all fifty states. But with federalism, if some states really don’t want that I guess they can have whatever laws they want.

So here’s an idea to make everyone happy. Congress could pass some new national right to carry helping states recognize each others’ carry permits, but states could get an opt out if they wanted. The governor of a state could submit a form explaining why his citizens are especially stupid and violent thus making a right to carry a problem there when it isn’t in any other state. A committee could then review those reasons and decide whether to grant a special exemption to the state from allowing right to carry. Sounds fair, right?
[Emphasis added]
