Supreme Court likely to reject limits on concealed carry but uphold bans on gun possession by drug users | Jan 15, 2026
The U.S. Supreme Court in early 2026 will hear oral arguments in two cases testing the limits of gun rights under the Constitution.
Can a state outlaw carrying a concealed weapon in businesses or restaurants unless the owners post a sign allowing it? And can the federal government criminalize the possession of firearms by a habitual drug user? The plaintiffs in both cases claim that these laws violate their Second Amendment rights. As a close observer of the Supreme Court, I suspect the rulings will split. The court will likely strike down the limitation on concealed carry and uphold the law denying gun rights to drug users. https://theconversation.com/supreme-court-likely-to-reject-limits-on-concealed-carry-but-uphold-bans-on-gun-possession-by-drug-users-270122

DOJ Declares Federal Ban on Mailing Handguns Unconstitutional in Landmark Opinion
On Thursday, the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), led by Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser, issued a groundbreaking memorandum opinion concluding that 18 U.S.C. § 1715, the nearly century-old federal statute prohibiting the mailing of concealable firearms, is unconstitutional as applied to constitutionally protected arms, such as handguns. This opinion marks a significant application of the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, extending Second Amendment protections to the shipment of firearms via the U.S. Postal Service. https://www.ammoland.com/2026/01/doj-declares-federal-ban-on-mailing-handguns-unconstitutional-in-landmark-opinion/
Eastern Wyoming Faces Hurricane Winds And Freezing Temps; Power Shutoff Possible
The winds are going to blow Eastern Wyoming down on Friday. A massive Canadian cold front, bringing gusts up to 75 mph and single-digit wind chills, is going to clip the eastern half of the state as it moves more severe winter weather to the east.
Black Hills Energy declared an Emergency Public Safety Power Shutoff Watch for the Harriman and Curt Gowdy areas, west of Cheyenne, from 9 a.m. Thursday through Friday because of “high fire-risk conditions in Friday’s forecast.”
“It’s very analogous to what they’re doing in California,” said Cowboy State Daily meteorologist Don Day. “When 60 to 70 mph winds come, there’s a risk of power lines getting knocked down. And since there’s no extensive snow cover, that could start wildfires.”
Excellent feature article about TPUSA and Republican college students in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The Gen Z Right is sorting itself out, and they are halfway heading in a new direction––maybe leaving Kirk, Vance, and even Trump behind.
It reminds me of a meme like:
“When they killed Charlie Kirk, they thought they were killing the mean guy, but actually they killed the nice guy. They won’t like who’s coming next.”
Congress: retirement home and hospice. It’s just insane, but they’ll fight to the death over term limits. Cha ching $

“At an event formally kicking off his campaign this week, Haynes staked out several progressive policy positions, saying he supported “quality affordable health care for all” and dismantling Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency in charge of enforcing immigration laws, which has come under scrutiny recently after an agent shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis.

I hope Trump and Stephen Miller dial it back to “Plan B” soon. Such as building some joint bases with Denmark and NATO.
