Someone on this board asked if anyone is excited about this. I am. I'm the same kind of excited as one is trying to walk out of a mine field.

I hope everyone reads gunlawyer001's post carefully, and that there is a lot of intra-group discipline. It only takes two or three jerks or nut-cases to make everyone look bad; and if they don't come with your group, the govenment has been known to supply them.

Personally, I don't see the advantage of having anyone carry a firearm to this proceeding, open or otherwise. You are complicating your logistics, and opening the door to all manner of rather serious problem. Nobody can accuse you of irresponsible gun handling if you aren't handling a gun.

If nobody has a gun and the case is won, that is what people will remember. If some a---ole is photographed with a gun in his hand (as, for example, clearing the weapon preparatory to putting it in his car), that is what people will remember. And if there is any kind of an incident, I expect Gov. Rendell will have the resources to exploit it toward restrictive legislation.

Excited? I'm holding my breath.

The wise voice of reason. Excellent post!!!

Visitors who arrive with handguns will be asked to secure the weapon in their vehicles or at their homes and return to the courthouse, Anthony said. "Or they will have to surrender them to us and they will be returned at the end of the day."

I hope it doesn't happen that they make you leave them in the car or "take them home." And if they do "surrender" them, I hope they will get them back when they leave the courthouse, not at the end of the day.

Great job! Congratulations, and most importantly, thank you. By taking this forward and fighting, you've made it easier on the rest of us if we end up in the same circumstance.

The constable and sheriff have been proven in a court of law to be incompetent, ignorant, and just plain ass holes.

And yes, one might say lacking civility and common sense.

So what did the judge have to say.

I really wish I could have been there today.
