California gun permit data breach, or leak, worse than reported
Story here. The breach also included AW registries, dealer record of sales data (meaning all gun purchases), applications for carry permits, and other information.
I’ve seen a suggestion — if anyone did get the permit data, given that one required identifier is race, compare the percent for applications to the percent for granted. If there is a discrepancy, score a point about racial discrimination. If nothing else, that will show them there is a downside to allowing a leak/data breach.

Who is at Fault in an Arizona Lane Splitting Accident?
The practice of lane splitting is when a motorcyclist will use the space between lanes of traffic to move through the cars. This effectively opens a new lane for the motorcyclists, one in which they will not be trapped between cars and potentially rear-ended. While lane splitting may make travel more efficient for motorcyclists, and sometimes even safer, it does also entail a certain level of risk.
Lane splitting can lead to motorcycle crashes that can cause significant injury or even death. Accidents involving motorcyclists often lead to serious injury for the motorcyclist given the lack of a metal chassis,…

Supreme Court vacates and remands remaining 2A cases
Orders list here. I see Assn of NJ Rifle & Pistol v. Bruck (magazine size), Young v. Hawaii (permit to carry), Bianchi v. Frosh (AW ban), and Duncan v. Bonta (magazine size).
This is common when the Supreme Court decides a case in a way that changes the legal standards while other cases are on appeal.

Of course, the Circuit may then remand to the trial…

Antigun legislatures react to NYSRPA
New York proposes to ban even licensed carry in any business that does not post a sign allowing it, plus requiring 15 hours of live-fire training on a range, and banning carry on ‘sensitive place’ including parks and public transit. Word is that the legislature is meeting today to vote on this.
California proposes to require three character witnesses and to expand “sensitive areas” where guns cannot be possessed, to include “medical facilities, public transit, public parks, playgrounds, public demonstrations and any place where alcohol is sold.” It’s a safe bet that the three references requirement will be expanded to…
