In this fired-up episode of Live to Shoot, Jeff Dowdle celebrates two game-changing Supreme Court cert grants that could supercharge Second Amendment rights. Fresh off Bruen's historical mandate, SCOTUS is tackling Hawaii's overreaching "sensitive places" bans and a federal drug-user firearm prohibition amid the cannabis boom. Jeff breaks it down with grit and gallows humor, rallying listeners to defend their carry rights against "gun-grabber" overreach. Perfect for concealed carriers, range rats, and anyone tired of statehouse nannyism.
Well, welcome to the Live Sheet podcast. My name is Jeff. Do. I've been a licensed. Firearms dealer for the last 18 years. In this podcast, we talk about all things related to Second Amendment, as well as anything else going in the world, a sports story, or anything else I might find interesting. So welcome, welcome, welcome. And today it's October. And what does October mean? October means the start of the new term for the Supreme Court. And what does that mean? The Supreme Court starts hearing cases and what have they done? Well, right now to date, they've list, they've given certificate, cert satori and I don't know all the Latin. Basically they said they were gonna hear two current Supreme Court or Second Amendment cases on their dockets. And we're we're celebrating the wins. They just handed the gun grabbers Hawaii Beach bands and Texas Weed woes. The black robes are fixing to make 'em history. So let's get going. So quick shout out to the founders. They didn't believe, or maybe you can have a musket if King says so. The second amendment is clear, shall not be infringed. Full stop. But ever since that landmark case of Bruin in 2022 where the court told the elites to quit inventing common sense BS and stick to history, it's lower courts have been scrambling like roaches to raid to. States are getting called out left and right and now SCOTUS is granting cert on these two cases that could blow the doors open on all these restrictions. So the first case is Wilford v Lopez, and it was granted on October 3rd. And if you're concealed carrier, this is a big one. So imagine this, you're in Hawaii. Shirt unbuttoned toes in the sand. But some bureaucrat says you can't strap it on your Glock for a jog on the beach or grab a burger without begging the mall owner's permission. Yes, that's right. The, the ninth circuit rubber stamped it last year, calling it a sensitive place of rule that doesn't destroy your rights. So basically in Hawaii, they're called it the vampire rule. The vampire rule is in, in lo in lore. For a vampire to come into your house, he had to be invited. He couldn't just come and here in Hawaii, for you to be able to carry in any store public place or anything like that, you have to get the permission of the owner versus them saying, you know, denying it. You have to go and get permission space by space, by space. Where in, in Texas you can post the 30 i six sign, 30 I seven sign and say, you know, concealed carry's not allowed here. And you got that when you walk in. But this one is, you gotta go play, and if it's not there, you're free to enter in. Right? Unless it's one of the you know, previously called out in, in the code, the restricted places or the state fair, but that's another story. But in, in Hawaii they say you gotta be invited in. So petitioner Christopher Wafer he wouldn't have any of it. And he said, you know, he went to Bruin and said, Hey, you know. This isn't right. And so Hawaii, they're kind of scraping at the barrel the, of some post-Civil war law laws that were revolved around slave or freed slaves and whether or not they could carry and getting their owner's per permission type stuff. But no, it doesn't apply. This one's gonna be heard by SCOTUS at some point in the future. They'll start hearing things, you know, probably at the, at the end of the year. Oral arguments on this. Now, the other one, this one's a little, a little wonky. It's the United States first Somani. And so this one's interesting. So it's 2023. And, you know, we don't have the best petitioner here. We're gonna go out and say that right now. The Feds bust into to Ally, Danielle Haman's place, and they find a Glock. Some money and some cocaine and some weed, and he gets charged for federal law. Nine two G three banning guns for unlawful users of drugs, but he wasn't a fool. He channels his brewing and gets the charges to tossed now backed by the fifth Circuit saying, Hey, a visual use gotta mean fresh tracks. You know, not just this your college stories. So. Second Amendment stands tall with with Armani and says, yep, nope, you, you're you're not a habitual user. But the Uncle Sam doesn't do it. They throw a hissy, spook, they appeal, and now they're going to scotus. So we're welcoming this. He said, they're saying the feds say, you know, this is just temporary, like disarming drunks or lunatics back in the day. It's not, it's a lifetime scarlet letter for anyone who's ever, you know, tod up and used weed in half the states legally. That million law, you know, and there's millions of law abiding users. So, you know, this is gonna be interesting. I'm not a drug user. Don't smoke weed, don't anything. But again, defending our right to bear and, and, and bear arms and not be infringed, doesn't have boundaries. Folks, we've gotta remember that. It says shall not be infringed. So you know, Ani goes and says, you know, basically says, show us the 1791 scrolls banning hemp, you know, hemp farmers, you know, there aren't any. Right. You know, Bruins flipped the script, you know, in fact, you know, George Washington raid. So would we have banned George Washington from being able to carry guns? I don't think so. So. We gotta be responsible, but we gotta tell, you know, the DEA to pound sound. Sound. So we're gonna gear up, you know, we're gonna watch these cases that they develop. I'll give you updates as they move along. Hopefully we can put two more wins in the wind column for the second Amendment. There are more cases out there waiting to be reviewed by the Supreme Court. Hopefully they'll pick up 3, 4, 5 more Second Amendment cases so we can start clearing some of these, clearing out some of these, you know, where they're trying to ban semi-automatic rifles. You know, magazine bans a lot of those that are going on throughout these states where these states are just thumbing their nose at the Supreme Court and the brewing decision. And so we've got to smack 'em down. We've gotta start letting them know that this thing is true. This, it's the law, it's the ruling of the, the Supreme Court. And they just can't be making up laws that infringe in our Second Amendment. So more to come, you know, I don't know if we're gonna, when we'll hear anymore about these cases or the Supreme Court picking up anymore, but as, as soon as they do, I will let you know. Have a great rest of your week subscribe, share this with other people. We gotta keep defending the Second Amendment. I appreciate you listening and have a great one.
