Monday guns

We’ve mentioned Vince Ricci  (no apparent relation to the delectable Christina) an L.A. CCW holder who wengaged in a shootout with armed proerty invaders recently – and had his CCW license lifted by the Sherrif’s Department.

But Ricci told Fox News Digital last week that the response to the harrowing incident has been for authorities to target him, calling him to inform him that his concealed carry license had been “revoked” as a result of him “yelling” at Los Angeles police officers while they attempted to investigate the incident three days later.

Way I read it, the PD was doing such a thorough job of investigation they didn’t even pick up the perps’ cartridge cases, and became offended when Ricci said they needed to do so.

The LASD added that the “Department of Justice (DOJ) establishes guidelines for CCW permits and the Sheriff’s Department must follow the DOJ parameters in accordance with the law” when it came to revoking the homeowner’s permit, adding that it can be “immediately reinstated as long as the permit holder has also followed all required CCW policies.”

“The only specific policies that LASD mentions in passing are regarding ‘proper notifications’ and the ‘use of [a] properly documented weapon,'” Swearer said. “But, to my knowledge, the only place where such policies are found with respect to the automatic revocation of a CCW license isn’t in DOJ guidelines or state law, but in the additional ‘terms and conditions’ agreement that LASD requires all CCW applicants to sign. Not only are these terms and conditions not required by the California DOJ or by state law, but LASD is one of only a few jurisdictions that impose them.”

The ‘Swearer’ referred to is a Heritage Foundation spox, by the way. THIS sort of thing is why the Supreme Court says states SHALL issue a permit to valid applicants…but why California, New York, Maryland and the rest of the anti-gun legislators want to keep it on a “MAY issue” basis. Funny how they claim there is a process in place for Ricci to get his license back – and it isn’t written or articulated. Bet it contains the word “grovel” somewhere.

And in another stellar case of citizens ‘strongly supporting more’ gun control, Illinois passed an “assault weapons ban” late last year requiring all such weapons (whatever they are – not sure they do

]) be registered with the state by January 1, 2024.

It prohibits the delivery, sale, import and purchase of more than 100 so-called assault weapons, in the form of semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and handguns. Also banned are the delivery, sale and purchase of high-capacity magazines of more than 10 rounds for long guns and 15 rounds for handguns.

People who owned those guns before Jan. 10 but don’t register them with the Illinois State Police by Jan. 1, can be charged with a misdemeanor for a first offense and felonies for subsequent violations.

So far, 90 out of the 102 county sheriff’s have publicly stated they will decline to enforce the law. And the citizens? Illinois is a state which requires a Firearms Owner ID (FOID) card prior to any gun purchase. This must be a state in which almost nobody likes semi-autos – out of the state’s 2,400,000 FOID holders, a whole 3,429 have signed up. That’s .001, or about .01%. One in a thousand. With about 5 weeks to go.

(the girl pictured has nothing to do with the story. So sue me. You’d rather look at Vince Ricci or the Illinois governor?)
