Thanks for the lead. Going to look for it now. Thank youThere's an article in February's issue of Shooting Illustrated on pages 74&75 about this.
I am not going through it as a FLRB relievee, but I do write the check every time an attorney on our assembly line brings another case (I am a comm2a director and the treasurer).

Fixed it for you.I am not going through it as a FLRB relievee, but I do happily write the check every time an attorney on our assembly line brings another case (I am a comm2a director and the treasurer).

Does Comm2A notify us when our membership dues is due? What about GOAL? I know the NRA and NHFC will send me an email and a bill when my dues is due.My guess is the majority of funding for the Comm2A projects comes from the NES community.

Comm2A does not. Our fundraising machine isn't that evolved and most of our members are on a monthly plan. We send out an email or letter when someone becomes a member that has the start and end dates on it. Other than that, we don't come after people for more money when their membership expires.Does Comm2A notify us when our membership dues is due? What about GOAL?

Nice to hear they are restoring licenses that are court ordered but im sure planning on denying any renewals that will come as our licenses expire.The unofficial win count is up to 13 with no district court losses. Attorney Jason Guida just won one against Boston, notable because Boston actually put up a fight. Another attorney not affiliated with Comm2A also won this month against the Sunderland PD. We're trying to compile a full list of all appeals we know about, not just the ones backed by Comm2A. Some of the judges are starting to write really good decisions too, not just scribbling 'reversed' in the margins of the petition. Also, the PDs (except for Boston) are not showing any interest in fighting us, and many are willing to submit to joint proposed orders with us.
The Commonwealth's tactics have also evolved to deal with out wins. They're now restoring licenses for these folks, but ONLY if there's a court order. So, if the state has restored your rights via the FLRB, you still have to sue your police department to actually get your license.
The FLRB is meeting again as required by law. Again, you can thank Attorney Guida for forcing the board to perform their statutorily required duties. However, they are denying petitions. The ATF's interpretation of Logan has rendered petitioners 'unsuitable'. (?)
We would not be able to coordinate this effort and support these folks without the support we get from NES members and other gun owners. Keep it up folks.
Im in the same situation..I don’t think there is anything to appeal until it’s either revoked or not renewed.Again, I’m one not chosen to appeal yet. My license wasn’t revoked, I was told we’ll just let it expire. I have been in touch with one of the attorneys mentioned here when the letter first came out. At what point do I make calls again and look at getting myself an appeal? Or do I just wait til this is done at the federal level?

If and when that time comes, Comm2A should be your first call. We're pretty much taking all comers at this time, not just the 12 or so we originally budgeted.Nice to hear they are restoring licenses that are court ordered but im sure planning on denying any renewals that will come as our licenses expire.
It was always going to be a long road even before this change of policy. The first step on that journey is restoring the status quo. Ironically, our battle with the state may work to our advantage in the long term. But it's still a long road.Sounds like a very long road ahead.
What is interesting here is that the FLRB and GCAB are treating the ATF as a quasi-judicial body and treating its opinion as if it is a judicial finding - even when multiple state courts have actually stated that firearms ownership is a civil right and has been restored.The BATF'Es interpretation of Logan has rendered petitioners 'unsuitable'. (?)
My theory (and it is only that) is that this position of the feds was the result of someone saying "gotta do something bout that" when California instituted a procedure in which certain first offense domestic violence convicts could apply for a restoration of gun rights.
I see that’s been posted.. late to the party as always..Nice article on this in this months shooting illustrated page 74
Ok so I went to bed feeling pretty good about knuckle draggers post about our licenses being renewed then woke up the next day to a bunch of negative news. Been silent thinking about this. I’ve been going threw this now for 11 years and have spent THOUSANDS on trying to get and stay legal. So let’s say Jason gets me legal again in the next month or so , just saying with all the court orders. My ltc was set to expire in about a year. Does that mean once it expires it will not ever be renewed again ?? I have paid Jason GLADLY to work a miracle for me , we even sued the police chief and won ! Watching the judge smack down the chief and my ex wife was the greatest day of my life next to my kids being born ! And at the end of this flrb mess I’m going to owe him another pile of money. Again , GLADLY ! But now I’m starting to feel like I’m shoveling shit against the tide if I’m reading and understanding this new stipulation with the ATF. So confused
I’m not going anywhere bob. I chew spikes and spit brads
Yep. I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. I’m not going to stress about it. I think I feel a disturbance in the force !I know. But all this BS and the dollars it costs to fight it still sucks.
