Bump

Per Atty Alan Beck

"Dear Readers.  The Wolford litigation which is our challenge to Hawaii's sensitive places law continues at the Supreme Court.  The next thing we need to do is to file a reply brief to the State's opposition to our writ of certiorari. This will require that we hire a printing company to prepare the brief and ship it to the Supreme Court.  This is a fairly expensive endeavor.  That is why I am posting our fundraiser once again and request your continued support. "

Per attorney Alan Beck:

"I just sent the reply brief in Wolford for the Supreme Court peition to the printing company.  I’d like to thank the Hawaii Rifle Association for paying for printing and shipping the brief. Here is a link to the Supreme Court docket. It takes awhile for the Court to upload briefs so if you want to read our reply please check tonight. "

The documents have been officially distributed to the judges to see if they would like to hear this or not.  This is what some of the donations were used for.

This has to be printed on a certain type of paper and font.  There is like only 1 company who does this.  Then they need 9 copies as each judge gets one.  PDF's are also sent over, but tradition is why paper is still sued.  This part seems outdated to me and is just an additional cost IMO.

Bump for more donations if you can.  Alan needs to submit a brief to the 3rd circuit since they just ruled majority of their sensitive places will stand.

Update from Alan Beck FB:

"At the end of this month, the Supreme Court comes back from its summer recess.  When it gets back it will decide the outcome of my current petition for review. Today, I filed a supplemental brief to tell the Court about all the cases that got decided over the summer.  One of the cases, Koons v Platkin, deepened a disagreement between the appeals courts on the issue I'm requesting the Supreme Court to grant review on. Basically Hawaii along with 4 other states put in laws which require private businesses to put up a sign saying gun allowed in order for a concealed carry permit holder to be allowed to carry.  As a practical matter, even businesses that would like you to carry won't put up such a sign due to how divisive this issue is in the country and potential loss of business as a result of the sign. Both the Second Circuit which govern New York and now the Third Circuit in Koons which governs New Jersey have found these laws to be unconstitutional.  The Ninth Circuit stands alone in upholding a signage requirement. That has created a conflict among the circuit courts on what the law is.  A circuit conflict is the number one reason the Supreme Court will review a case. Between that and a brief filed by the Federal government which supports my petition I am hopeful that the Court will grant review. I should find out sometime next month so wish me luck friends. Below is a link to the brief if you want to read it. "

We should know by Friday if SCOTUS will hear this or not.

Maybe Hawaii will pull out the 'Aloha Spirit' trumps the Constitution argument ...

Their $3400/hr lawyer wouldn't be dumb enough to use that.  But I get that you're using sarcasm.

I'm making an "aloha spirit" banner to display in front of the SCOTUS building.

Anyone want to come with me to support Alan?

Article on this is now up at Civil Beat

Mosey on over and express your views.  The meat puppets will be all a stir and projecting dismay.

First the Communist Flying Butt-Monkeys of Fafa get designated as the terrorists they are, and now Hawaii is going to take it in the face for seeking to void the 2A (while spitting in the Supreme Court’s face - thanks Pennywise Eddins!) yet again.

Bad days indeed for the indecent & unclean!

The current preliminary injunction will hold until SCOTUS issues their opinion next spring.  So can still carry at private property open to the public without the guns allowed sign, parks, beaches, and shared parking lots, and other places on the injunction until then.

I plan on going to DC to support the attorneys.  Anyone coming to join in for that and a short tour of DC for a few days?  It'll likely be in December.

Thank you for reminding everyone of the preliminary injunction!

It’s an attractive offer to see this in person - may work out for me, depending on the boss’s (wifey) plans at that time ….
