A felony conviction doesn't automatically mean losing your gun rights for life, according to a new federal appeals court ruling.

In two major Second Amendment decisions, judges rule in favor of a man whose fi****ms ban stems from drunk-driving convictions, but uphold the restriction against a man convicted in connection with a violent carjacking.

The distinction comes down to whether someone's criminal history demonstrates a risk of violence or misusing fi****ms.

But not every judge agrees with where the court draws that line. See the disagreement and what it could mean for federal gun restrictions: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/third-circuit-felon-gun-ban-dui-ruling

Daniel "Dogie" Duncan, age 42, was sentenced to life in the Montana State Prison after a conviction of second degree murder.

On August 17, 1930, as a result of a disagreement over possession of a cowhide robe, a fight broke out between Duncan and three others. After being severely beaten in the brawl, Duncan retrieved a r***e from his house. According to his prison record, he "murdered Bud Neas, Russell Austin and Gus Austin on his (Duncan's) ranch near Kila, shooting two and slugging the other," breaking the stock of the gun. You can find this very r***e, a Wi******er Model 1894, in our Fi****ms Exhibit!

Joshua Diemert says the City of Seattle's race-focused workplace program fueled years of racial harassment against him. Today the Ninth Circuit reversed the dismissal of his claims and cleared the way for Joshua to finally have his day in court.

As a City of Seattle employee, Joshua was required to take part in the City’s Race and Social Justice Initiative, where trainers told employees that racism is in white people’s DNA and a supervisor pressured him to give up a role so a person of color could be promoted.

Today the Ninth Circuit said race-conscious trainings "may violate Title VII when they create a racially hostile work environment." And the incidents Joshua described were numerous, frequent, and severe enough for a jury to decide his claims.

We represent Joshua at no cost. Today’s decision sends a clear message: Title VII protects every employee from a racially hostile work environment, regardless of race

This is how the jury trial protects people against bureaucratic revenue generators. The law has criminalized so much that honest people trying to do the right thing get pinched. The state is more worried about collecting another hidden tax than justice. Has your defense attorney won, let alone tried, a major case in Montana? Better check. We have.

Wyoming Game and Fish really charged a hunter with wasting meat because a grizzly bear was eating his elk. The hunter returned to his bull the next morning, found it torn open with fresh bear sign nearby, and backed out rather than risk walking into a grizzly on a food source. He was later charged with wasting the elk and possessing the antlers. A jury found him not guilty on both charges.

This is exactly the problem hunters have warned about in grizzly country. Bears learn that hunters, gunshots and fresh kills mean food. Yet hunters still can’t manage these grizzlies through a normal hunting season, and wildlife officials themselves tell people to back away from bear-claimed carcasses.

So what was he supposed to do, walk in and fight a grizzly for his elk? Congratulations Wyoming, Charging the hunter because a protected grizzly claimed his animal is one of the dumbest poaching charges I’ve ever seen. Thankfully, the jury of his peers agreed.
