Simple Request

 On my webpage is a not very complete collection of early right to keep and bear arms decisions.  These were links to PDFs from copies that I made at UC Hasting law school library in  the 1980s and 1990s.  They weresometimes poor photocopies of old books with tight bindings.  I have gone through and changed most of them to links in books.google.com, which means cut and paste will be easier.  If you have a few minutes, could you click those links and vberify that they work and point to books with those cases?

Hatpins Again

 A while back, I presented some material about hatpin laws.  Hatpins were popular defensive weapons for women at the close of the 19th and start of the 20th century.

Over dinner, my wife suggested that I might want to look at fashion and concealed carry.  This led to a discussion of hatpin length limit laws.  Published work suggests such laws were to discourage women defending themselves from "mashers."  I found another explanation; long hatpins on public transit could lead to accidental, and rarely lethal injuries.  Streetwalkers apparently used them against police as well.

They were also defended as self-defense weapons:

PLEA FOR BIG HATPINS

Chicago Woman Wants Them for
Protection on Streets at Night
Chicago. March 4. Alderman Herman J. Bauier has introduced his
widely heralded 'hatpin" ordinance in the
city council and it was referred to
the judiciary committee, which will
have prepared, if it can be legally
done, an ordinance requiring hatpins
of a shorter length than those lnow
commonly worn by Chicago women.

A letter protesting against the ordinance was submitted, by May E.
Davis, No. 309 East Seventy seventh
street.  It read:
"In behalf of myself and thousands
of other women in Chicago who are
occasionally on the streets after dark
I want to express an objection which
might not appeal to men against the
ordinance curtailing the use of hat-
pins winch comes before your honorable body tonight.

"A hatpin is woman's weapon of
defense. She is no more permitted
to carry a revolver or other weapon
than is a member of the sterner sex.

"I always feel safe going home late
at night with a hatpin available for
protection. Before leaving a street
car I always carry a hatpin ready in
my hand until I am safe within the
door of my home. Many a time it
has proved its need. Thousands of
other women undoubtedly can speak
from their experience of how a stout
hatpin has been an effective defense
in time of danger. A hatpin is also
useful in repelling 'mashers.' " [The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.), 04 March 1910, 3, h]

Barry Goldwater

My wife and I were watching a PBS documentary, 1964.  I remember 1964 in a few fragments.  A vacation in Arizona to Grand Canyon and Meteor Crater.  LBj's very drunken victory speech.

They made a big deal of how conservatives were on the wrong of history because Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  I remembered vaguely that it was a principled opposition to an overly powerful national government. 

The Wikipedia article was pretty startling:

"Goldwater was a supporter of racial equality. He integrated his family's business upon taking over control in the 1930s. A lifetime member of the NAACP, Goldwater helped found the group's Arizona chapter. He saw to it that the Arizona Air National Guard was racially integrated from its inception in 1946, two years before President Truman ordered the military as a whole be integrated (a process that was not completed until 1954). Goldwater worked with Phoenix civil rights leaders to successfully integrate public schools a year prior to Brown v. Board of Education."

Unless Wikipedia has been taken over by right-wingers (not likely) it presents a far more interesting story about Goldwater.

B-58

 I watched a YouTube video about the B-58.  This was a really cool airplane.  I passed under one while it was either taking off or landing in Tecas in 1967.

The 1950s and 1960s created a a whole bunch of astonishingly advanced aircraft: B-58, F-102, F-106, B70, SR-71.  What amazes me is the money the U.S. had to develop these aircraft.  I shudder to think of what would happen today.  Amazingly, we ran a balanced budget during most of that period.

Things sure collapsed in the 1970s.

Will No One Rid Me of This Troublous University?

Okay, I am mixing periods.  9/12/24 Daily Mail:

"Woke row erupts after Nottingham University puts trigger warning on Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales - because they contain 'expressions of Christian faith'"

Horrifying.  Are there trigger warnings on History of the Holocaust classes?  Probably not.

Pistol Prices in the Early Republic

 Framing Era and Early Republic Pistol Prices

Finding prices for pistols in this era is a struggle.  Advertisements do not generally list prices for much of anything.  Until the advent of the Quaker “one price” system, purchases involved haggling and the proprietor’s perception of what a buyer could afford.[1]  However, we do have U.S. Government contract information telling us they were willing to pay for military pistols.

We can also convert these prices into hours of labor for agricultural workers for each contract year.  All pistol contract prices are from Carl P. Russell Guns on the Early Frontiers: From Colonial Times to the Years of the Western Fur Trade.[2] Agricultural daily wages are from Carol D. Wright, Comparative Wages, Prices, and Cost of Living, 46-47.  When there are multiple wage levels for agricultural workers, I am using the lowest wages for that year, which will exaggerate how many days a worker would need to buy a pistol.

A Story That I Heard

I do not if it is true but I see little references to it occasionally.   The claim is that offering goods at a particular price available to all buyers was originally a Quaker notion based on treating all equally.   It sounds like something Quakers would adopt as a policy.  This article about Macy's Quaker roots references it.  More detail here.

I ask because colonial advertising is remarkably basful about prices of goods for sale.  I would like to find out sale price of pistols in the Framing era.

Upcoming Symposium

 University of Wyoming Law School is having a symposium about the National Firearms Act October 18th in which I will be a presenter.  To reserve a spot go here..  If you are a lawyer, you can get CLE for this, instead of a class in Contracts or Tort Law Reform.  I know which you would rather do.

I Went Looking For Time, But I Ended Up in Life

I was curious to read Time magazine issues from the World War II years, but all I found was Life magazine (for those of you ancient enough to remember it). The 1942 issues are a real hoot to read. The srticle about the Jeep is quite entertaining.

PBS Documentary About Ellis Island Hospital

To say that I was startled does not even begin to describe it.  Forgotten Ellis Island (2008).  I was expecting a hit piece emphasizing the 1924 immigration law, eugenics, and what a horrible nation America is.  While eugenics was part of the story, it was also a story about how the U.S. built one of the best hospitals in the world to treat incoming immigrants regarded as too sick for immediate entry.  Some were deemed incurable and contagious (especially considering what was available at the time), some feebleminded, some were mentally ill.  These were deported.  But many were treated and allowed to enter the U.S.

For every depressing quote from a Public Health Service doctor awash in eugenics, there were examples of doctors challenging these ideas, and doctors and nurses engaging in humane and decent treatment of people with whom language was often a barrier.

Urbanization By Decade U.S.

Yes, I need this for a case.  Somewhere within the Census Bureau enormous and incomprehensible organized website there are either tables of a graph showing urban percentage of U.S. population by decade.  I really,  really need it.

Biden Appointee Strikes a Blow for Second Amendment

 I do not have a link to it yet. 

CRPA v. Los Angeles Shariff's Depasrtment (C.D.Cal. 2024).   This is "ORDER GRANTING IN PART,

DENYING IN PART, PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION."  This means the final decision still requires trial, but on a preliinary basis some California concealed carry licensing laws are unconstitutional.

The plaintiffs challenged the extraordinary license fees and limitation of licenses to California residents.  While the judge did not direct that California recognize out of state licenses, it appears that her decision would require non-residents to be able to apply for carry licenses.

Here, Plaintiffs have only demonstrated that the text of the Second Amendment likely applies to the first of its arguments, that non-residents have the right, like California residents, to apply to lawfully carry firearms for self-defense while in public.

 One of the other erteaining parts of California's defense (and upn which I( had great in the rebuttals) was:

Plaintiffs respond that the LA Defendants’ showing is insufficient. First, Plaintiffs contend the LA Defendants purportedly rely on laws that post-date both relevant eras.  Second, Plaintiffs argue that, to the extent the LA Defendants cite to laws from the Founding era, those laws are “explicitly racist laws that have no place here.”

The Court finds the LA Defendants have not carried their burden to demonstrate that the over 18-month delays imposed on Individual Plaintiffs Weimer and Messel are part of a historic tradition of firearms regulation.

Time for reparations?

This Should Be Easy to Find

 A spreadsheet with the U.S. population by decade from 1790 to 2020,  It is coubtless somewherer in the Census Bureau's website but obscured by thousands of other tables.  I asked ChatGPT and it told me to visit links to that data.  While colored as though they were links, they were not.

Specifically, with an official source.

Are There Any URLs on This List You Cannot Open?

 If some of them take to laws that seem to not be gun-relaed, do not worry; many are laws cited by their "experts" and are indeed irrelevant.  My proof reader is getting 403 errors and I want to know why.

Thanks to all.  The solution is look for the phrases in a private window where books.google.com has no information about me.

How Did I Miss This?

Today is the 55th anniversary of one of the greatest exploration achievements of mankind.

As an American you can take pride in what America could do when our goal was not DEI, but EEO.  Everyone gets an equal opportunity.   We try to make sure that schools educate in useful subjects (math, science) and unleash our capabilities.

I remember watching this.  It was my father's 59th birthday.   We put the TV in the outdoor patio and ate dinner while watching one of America's great achievements. 

Today's Unexpected Historical Trivia

 Most American History textbooks make a point of how Jefferson's Northwest Ordinance (1787) banned slavery north of the Ohio River.  While checking:

1799 Miss. Laws 113, A Law For The Regulation Of Slaves

That no slave shall keep or carry any gun , powder , shot , club ,
or other weapon whatsoever, offensive , or defensive , defensive
except the tools given him to work with , or that he weapons.
is ordered by his master , mistress , or overseer...

It does indeed appear in Statutes of the Missisippi Territory (1807) as part of A Law For The Regulation Of Slaves.

When I found it referenced in The Territorial Papers of the United States v.5 1798-1817 (1937)

Whereas the Ordinance of Congress passed the 13th day of July
1787. Entitled "An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory
of the United States north West of the river Ohio " hath been applied
to the Government of the Mississippi Territory : Whereby the Governor
and Judges of the said Territory or a majority of them are
authorised to adopt, and publish in the said Territory such Laws of
the Original States , Civil and Criminal , as may be necessary , and best
suited to the circumstances of the said Territory , and report them to
Congress from time to time, which laws shall be in force in the district
or Territory until the organization of the general assembly therein ,
unless disapproved of by Congress , but afterwards the legislature
shall have authority to alter them as they shall think fit....

Therefore

disagreed

After the word Assembled, strike out the residue of the resolution
and insert "That all the acts of the said Governor and Judges, purporting
to be the laws enacted by the said Governor and Judges of
the Mississippi Territory from the commencment of the Government
thereof until the 30 day of June 1799--be, and the same are hereby,
disapproved of by Congress.

including A Law For The Regulation Of Slaves

The language is desparately unclear.  It appears Congress at least briefly discussed applying the Northwest Ordinance's slavery prohibition to the Deep South.
