I think the Solzhenytsin quote about resisting the secret police is relevant now in Connecticut and becoming so in the Republic generally. California is a different country.

soon as it starts, there's a damn good chance the interstates will be closed to all cars with out of state plates where they will be searched and anybody found armed, jailed on felony charges

What if the feds get involved?

What then?

The article says we should start operations in our home areas to take the pressure off Connecticut patriots.

The Connecticut gun-grabbers could ignite the whole freaking country!

Some recommend a Night of the Long Knives against the liberals in Hollywood, the media, academia, government, etc.

The only thing scarier than busting down a door with an armed homeowner behind it is busting one down to find he's already gone (but probably close by).

This is why defenders should be making arrangements with their neighbors. If they are so lucky as to see the attack by the jackboots coming they could alert them and the latter would find themselves with trouble on all their flanks.

“There must be different people in California. They rolled over for this years ago without a wimper.”

There are thousands of AR-15’s in the hands of CA citizens and none of them are registered as called for by the CT law. We do have a 10 rd mag restriction, but they are also not registered.

Also,I guess you don’t bother reading what has been going on here in California with respect to CCW. Right now, unless the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals grants an en banc review of their decision last month, California will have to issue CCW permits to anyone who isn’t prohibited by reason of being a felon or being adjudged mentally unstable. Go look up Peruta v. San Diego County. The San Diego Sheriff has already said that he’s not asking for an en banc and has started issuing permits. Ditto for the Orange and Yolo County Sheriffs. The AG has asked for an en banc, but it is doubtful she will get one. I would urge you to read the decision, because it may well be the one that the SCOTUS uses when they are finally forced to rule completely on the 2A. I was amazed at the thoroughness of it.

If the PTB in CT allow this situation to degenerate into something ugly it won’t be for lack of warning but rather their lack of common sense. It will all be on them.

CA does have assault weapons registration. We’ve gotten around the definition in most cases, especially via the bullet button.

As to the Peruta decision on CCW good cause statements, I am very pleased and hope it stands, but note this is relief from the courts, not our insane politicians.

Go to youtube and spend 10 minutes watching the Battle of Athens if you are not familiar with it.

The Battle of Athens This link is a "summary" or highly abridged version of the movie that gives you a good idea what the full movie is about.

I had NO IDEA this event occurred in our history. Was never taught it. To think that returning WW2 vets had to arm themselves to fight our own government is mind boggling to me, yet it happened.

I'll be watching the full version with my two teenage sons soon, thank you so much for posting about the Battle of Athens. I'd never have known it happened without your post.

Go look up Peruta v. San Diego County.

IIRC, it was that exact ruling from the 9th Circuit Court that struck the deathblow to Illinois strict handgun laws, and obliterated Chicago's handgun ban.

I was floored that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals did it. They're often referred to as the 9th Circus Court.

Illinois has 440,000 FOID Card (Firearms Owners ID) holders, the state is expecting at least that many CCW applications ........ I'm one of them.

They have appealed the district judge’s finding, but they should ask for an immediate injunction to prevent the state from enforcing this law as it cause irreparable harm to the rights of its citizenry.

That is, they are in a quandary, that while the law is being appealed, if they are arrested and charged, the state may use that as an excuse to deny them their 2nd Amendment rights *no matter what* the appeals court finds.

This alone means the request for an injunction is “ripe”, that the court does not need to wait until someone is arrested to provide an injunction or appellate relief.

Worse than the unconstitutional laws written by corrupt legislators, is the corrupt judiciary that upholds them.

See "Wickard v Filburn"
