Hi all

I am going to Law School in about a year, (I know, I know) and am therefore intersted in what the various cities are like in relation to gun control. I live in California now. The schools I am looking at include the cities and schools of Detroit, Washington D.C. (I know illegal), Yale and Harvard, and possibly Duke.

I am trying to help and be a pro-gun attorney, we need all of these that we can get.
 
Well Detroit is in Wayne County and that county's political hacks are very antigun. Getting a CWP or as it is called in Michigan a CCW is almost impossible there, unless you are part of the connected. However there is a ray of sunshine, Macomb County. Macomb County is one of a few counties that are "Shall Issue". In Michigan county boards issue the state wide CCW, this board is made up of a rep. from the State Police, the sheriff's dept. and the prosecutor's office. At this time the board is 2 to 1 pro-CCW or at least follows the laws regarding issuance. The CCW is valid anywhere in the state regardless where it is issued.

I hope this helps.

My sense is that Duke as an institution is nearly as PC as Yale and Harvard.

However, it has the substantial advantage of being in a much more gun-friendly, Southern state, when compared to MA and CT (especially MA; not as sure about CT, but I don't think it's too good).
 
PittsPilot,

First, if that refers to a Pitt Special, you are a true renascence man.

Second, I am a Duke Business School alumnus, a former member of the Fuqua School's Alumni Council, and a current member of the University's overall Alumni Board of Directors. Duke is an absolutely outstanding institution -- top ten statuses in the undergraduate, law, business, medicine, divinity, and several other schools -- however, like ALL top-tier universities, it has a decidedly liberal orientation. I wouldn't allow this to be a substantial consideration in your selection of a law school. If you want further information, please don't hesitate to contact me by e-mail. A final point, Durham has a strong anti-sidearms political position, although most of North Carolina is not so restrictive.
 
How about Notre Dame in my hometown. As far as politically it is very conservative, and Indiana is a very gun friendly state. It also has a great reputation and the alumni takes great care of its graduates. I would take a serious look at it. I could always use another person to go to the range with.

Interesting replies from all.

I am not too interseted in CCW, mostly just home defence. So as long as the place in question allows you to have one in your home, since I am married and will not live on campus.

I am basically going to the best chool that will accept me

And yes I am a Pitts Special Pilot as well as a Pitts special intructor. Pitts Special refers to an aerobatic aircraft that is capable of advanced aerobatics.
