Vedder Holsters Daily Digest: Try, Try Again, That’s How She Rolls and the SEC is ‘Concerned’

Never let the law get in the way of your desired outcome . . . Gun control advocates say Newtown ruling is bad precedent – “Gun control advocates are asking the Connecticut Supreme Court for permission to argue against a judge’s decision last year to dismiss a wrongful-death lawsuit against the maker of the rifle used in the 2012 Newtown school shooting, saying the ruling would set a bad precedent. State Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis ruled in October that the lawsuit filed by some of the Newtown victims’ families against Remington Arms wasn’t allowed because of a federal law that shields gun makers from liability, in most cases, when their products are used in crimes.”

Cops Stop Woman With Stroller Full Of Guns In Back Of The Yards – “An 18-year-old Back of the Yards woman faces weapons charges after she was stopped by Chicago Police as she pushed a baby stroller with a rifle, handgun and ammunition inside early Monday morning. Yarisma Martinez lived a few blocks down from a house in the 4500 block of South Hermitage, where a police surveillance camera spotted a man firing a rifle on the street around midnight, prosecutors said Tuesday.” She was probably just going from one 3-gun station to the next.

Representative Mary Felzkowski and Senator David Craig Release the “Right to Carry Act” – “Today, Senator David Craig (R-Town of Vernon) and Representative Mary Felzkowski (R-Irma) along with 39 co-authors released the ‘Right to Carry Act’, which simplifies Wisconsin law and expands the rights of law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed weapon without a license. ‘At its essence, this bill does two things: removes barriers to the exercise of a constitutional right and simplifies the law,’ said Senator Craig. ‘If you decide to carry a weapon to protect yourself or your family, you should be able to do so easily – without bureaucratic hurdles and without cost. We want to empower people to decide the best ways to defend themselves,’ said Representative Felzkowski. ‘Whether it’s a taser in a purse or gun under a winter coat, we want to give more options for people to carry.’”

Your zero tolerance government school idiocy of the day . . . Girl, 5, suspended for playing with ‘stick gun’ during playground game – “A North Carolina mother says her 5-year-old daughter was suspended from school after she was found playing with a stick that resembled a gun. Brandy Miller said her daughter Caitlin was suspended for one day on Friday after she and her two friends were playing “King and Queen” at her school in Hoke County, North Carolina, ABC affiliate WTVD reported Tuesday. In the game, Caitlin played a guard, protecting the royals, and picked up the “stick gun” to imitate shooting an intruder into the kingdom.”

Woooo! Pig Sooooie! . . . Guns in stadiums would devastate programs – “Failure to amend the act could mean trouble with the SEC for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. The conference cuts the UA a check for almost $40 million each year. The 14 members of the SEC do not have a contract, they work under an agreement. The presidents of the schools — citing safety for their students — have the right to vote a member out. That’s not to say the SEC has made a threat to the UA, but SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey did say it was the conference’s desire to see athletic events and sports venues free of concealed weapons. ‘House Bill 1249 creates concerns for the Southeastern Conference and its member institutions,’ Sankey said in a news release Tuesday. House Bill 1249 became Act 562 after it was signed by the governor.”
