    The people who facilitated the illegal invasion of 30,000,000 welfare seeking, non-english-speaking, non-assimilating invaders to America should be held accountable for all the crime, deaths, lost wages, lost housing, medical, educational shortages, illegal votes (this list is endless) ..... and if they don't get the tens of millions to leave the country (by whatever means necessary), they must be forced to leave the country in their stead.

    Decision overturned by SCOTUS, judge moves down the bench to the next level. Twice? Job forfeit.

    Qualified immunity? eliminated, and LEOs are NOT special people who have a nationwide right to carry. They are just regular people doing a job, with NO special powers. NONE.

      Thor, I lost an uncle LEO in the line of duty.
      In many cases, they were required to carry at all times, so they could be called upon, at all times.
      And there were stupid laws in some places that made this illegal, creating the problems. Going into a School, for example. IMAGINE having to disarm yourself, while off duty, picking up your kid.

      We have had friends picking up their kids, and they had CCWs licenses. An overzealous COP had them pop the trunk, took both weapons partially disassembled them, emptied the cartridges (carelessly into the trunk) and threatened to ticket them over it. (He had no right).

      BUT I LOVE "Overturned by SCOTUS, you at least get a Demerit, eventually a pay cut, and ultimately fired". But SCOTUS needs to find some of these judges as "Being an Activist Judge". Immediate removal (a death penalty if I were in charge, LOL, but SCOTUS would never apply it then).

    Yes. It is time this view was reconsidered. The bartender is not expected to be expert in judging behavior, just should use common sense. English law has the words, in the view of the man on the Clapham omnibus.
    There could be something going back to Chaucer.
    It means something obvious to someone who, has a couple of pennies for their commute to work, the taxpayer, the man in the street. If a thing is obvious to such a person, then it should be seen by the educated in another field, in this case the judge.

    LibertyPen, this is an extraordinarily well made argument! No way around the bartender analogy, which is spot on. Thank you! As I read it all that came to mind is the recent incident in Chicago where the lady on the train was set on fire by a perpetrator that had been let loose 72 (that's SEVENTY TWO!) prior times. You'd think after 72 beers or shots that "bartender" would have taken the keys!

    In this particular "bar" some of the patrons (lawyers) that helped convince the bartender to let him go ought to be held accountable as well.
