Merry Christmas btw!

Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
1 Under existing case law, there is no duty to retreat before using deadly force if
2 the person using deadly force is not the aggressor and reasonably believes that he is
3 about to be killed or seriously injured. (Culverson v. State, 106 Nev. 484 (1990))
Varminter-
Thanks for the link to that bill. I know you and wrightme are very active with the legislature and I would like to know how to help out.
I'd also like to try to figure out how to make sure at least someone introduces another preemption bill. I think the official AG opinion ought to incite at least a few in the assembly or senate to see to it that preemption has teeth this time, and doesn't allow any loopholes which can be perverted into the patchwork of laws we still see today. The Conclusion from the AG's letter dated August 13, 2010:
"The Legislature has preempted the field of firearm regulation, with the exception of unlawful discharge ordinances and regulations which the Legislature has explicitly authorized county government to regulate. Therefore, county government is prohibited from adopting and enacting new legislation relating to the possession of firearms. However, through the legislative process, certain ordinances and regulations concerning firearm regulation were grandfather by A.B. 147 including Clark County Code 19.060.04 and the regulations adopted pursuant to its authority. Although Clark County does not have the authority to enact new local ordinances or regulations that are preempted by NRS 244.364(1), the ordinances or regulations grandfathered by A.B. 147 still remain in effect today."
No mention of S.B. 92. As if SB92 never happened and it's effect was impotent. We need to make sure the legislature knows just what the AG thinks of their hard work, and install preemption laws with clear and strong language that no local law is grandfathered in and is explicitly voided. Hopefully we can use the opportunity to get the legislature angry enough that NO LAW is grandfathered in, including Clark County's registration scheme.
