SAF sues New Mexico over legal resident alien CCW permits

I don't think I've welcomed you to my end of the interwebs, KC! Welcome aboard.

I gotta warn ya, though... Your brand of optimistic pessimism (or is that pessimistic optimism?) will be less accepted here than at CGN. I know that this won't mean much, but if you get some flack over it, at least you will know why.

I didn't expect the 2A argument to go over. But it was nice to see the Judge understood the EP argument and gave it the proper scrutiny. It may not be over, especially if the State appeals this to the CA10.

Thank you sir!

Heh. It's confusing to some as to where I am on that scale, because my goal is to land squarely between pessimism and optimism, at the point of realism, but to err on the side of pessimism if I have to err at all (it is far better to be happily surprised than unhappily surprised, for the latter can get you killed in some circumstances). If I wind up being wrong about something, I do my best to adjust my views to account for that.

Some believe my views to be overly cynical. I cannot help that. The real world is a hostile and unforgiving place, and evil is baked into the very fabric of the universe (else entropy would not be a fundamental law of the universe, and death would not be the inevitability that it is). My views are a direct reflection of that.

Where is CGN? Always looking for a new forum to annoy...er "join".

He's referring to Calguns, California's most effective gun-rights group. Gene Hoffman is their lead attorney, and Gray Peterson works with them.

Close but no cookie, Tom.

CGN is CalGuns.net. A very popular CA gun board (perhaps the largest such board in CA). This is not to be confused with CGF, CalGuns Foundation, of which Gene Hoffman is (at the very least) a Board member (and founder).

While CGN and CGF are not related, most members of the CGF Board are members of the CGN gun board. A lot of what the CalGuns Foundation does, can be seen and commented upon at CalGuns.net.

CGF supports CA gun rights through litigation, education, and outreach initiatives.

I've heard of them, a very effective group. Kudos to them for fighting in a very difficult battleground.

I should have also clarified, Gene is not an attorney. A very astute businessman, yes.
