Supreme Court’s Inaction Frustrates Second Amendment Supporters,
Emboldens Anti-gun Activists
<[link removed]>
Gun owners are by now used to being disappointed with the U.S. Supreme
Court’s refusal to uphold their rights or even to defend its own
Second Amendment precedents. But the court’s neglect reached a new
low last Monday, with its sweeping decision to deny review of the many
Second Amendment cases pending on its docket.

Legal Reckoning for Jackson, MS Mayor’s Foolish Carry Ban
<[link removed]>
As we reported earlier, Chokwe Lumumba, the mayor of Jackson,
Mississippi, announced an executive order on April 24 as part of his
response to the COVID-19 civil emergency. The order prohibited the
“carrying of an unconcealed loaded or unloaded pistol or revolver or
any other firearm, carried upon the person or in a sheath, belt
holster or shoulder holster or in a purse, handbag, satchel, other
similar bag or briefcase or fully enclosed case, with such pistol,
revolver, or firearm being wholly or partially visible.”

Florida Court Recognizes Popularity of Carry Permits, Rules Police
Cannot Use Possession of a Gun as Sole Basis for Investigatory Stops
<[link removed]>
An appellate court in Florida recently decided that a police officer
who sees a firearm when approaching a citizen is not permitted to rely
exclusively on the possession of the firearm as the justification for
an investigatory stop and search. Bearing arms is not only a lawful
activity, it is “a specifically enumerated right” protected under
both the state and federal constitutions. Taking into consideration
the sheer number of persons in the state who are permitted to carry
concealed weapons, this “potentially lawful activity cannot be the
sole basis for a detention. If this were allowed, the Fourth Amendment
would be eviscerated.”
