Local Authority to Regulate Firearms in Maine
Posted on Thursday, May 5th, 2016
The Maine Legislature has adopted an express preemption statute which provides:
1. Preemption. The State intends to occupy and preempt the entire field of legislation concerning the regulation of firearms, components, ammunition and supplies. Except as provided in subsection 3, any existing or future order, ordinance, rule or regulation in this field of any political subdivision of the State is void.
2. Regulation restricted. Except as provided in subsection 3, no political subdivision of the State, including, but not limited to, municipalities, counties, townships and village corporations, may adopt any order, ordinance, rule or regulation concerning the sale, purchase, purchase delay, transfer, ownership, use, possession, bearing, transportation, licensing, permitting, registration, taxation or any other matter pertaining to firearms, components, ammunition or supplies.
3. Exception. This section does not prohibit an order, ordinance, rule or regulation of any political subdivision which, with the exception of appropriate civil penalty provisions, conforms exactly with any applicable provision of state law or which regulates the discharge of firearms within a jurisdiction.
4. Law Enforcement Agency. Nothing in this section limits the power of any law enforcement agency to regulate the type and use of firearms issued or authorized by that agency for use by its employees. For the purposes of this section "law enforcement agency" has the same meaning as set forth in section 3701.1
The adoption of express preemption rendered invalid many local ordinances regulating firearms.2 In addition to affecting regulations by cities and counties, section 2011 preempts firearms regulations by municipal agencies or authorities.3
Title 12, § 13201, which relates to inland fisheries and wildlife, states that while a "municipality or political subdivision of the State may not enact any ordinance, law or rule regulating the hunting, trapping or fishing for any species of fish or wildlife," this restriction on local power does not prohibit the enactment of "any ordinance generally regulating the discharge of firearms in a municipality or any part of a municipality."
Pursuant to title 30-A, § 3007(5), any municipality adopting or amending a firearm discharge ordinance shall consult with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife during the process. Furthermore, the area(s) in which the discharge of firearms is prohibited under an ordinance must be described using "clearly defined physical boundaries" as points of reference.4
Maine limits local regulation of shooting ranges. A municipal noise control or other ordinance may not require or be applied so as to require a sport shooting range to limit or eliminate shooting activities that have occurred on a regular basis at the range prior to the enactment date of the ordinance, as long as the range conforms to generally accepted gun safety and shooting range operation practices or is constructed in a manner not reasonably expected to allow a projectile to cross the boundary of the range.5 Subject to some limitations, local governments are allowed, however, to regulate the location and construction of new sport shooting ranges or substantial change in use of existing ranges on or after September 1, 2016.6
Maine also prohibits certain civil actions by municipalities against firearms and ammunition manufacturers.7 See the Maine Immunity Statutes/Manufacturer Litigation section for further information.

In the Thick of It: 2016's Busy Legislative Cycle
Posted on Wednesday, May 4th, 2016
Across the country, new gun legislation is being proposed at a steady pace, and our attorneys are hard at work, writing model laws, educating lawmakers and the public on smart gun laws, and tracking these bills as they wind their way through the legislative system. Last year, we tracked more than 1,300 bills and expect this year to be another busy one for smart gun laws at the state level—not to mention the ballot initiatives that will enable voters to enact lifesaving smart gun laws this November. For a full analysis of this cycle's firearms legislation, visit our biweekly publication Gun Law Trendwatch.
We've started the year with critical victories in key states:
- In Georgia, Governor Nathan Deal vetoed a deadly bill that would have allowed anyone over 21 to carry a concealed, loaded weapon on college campuses, which would have increased the opportunity for violent shootings.
- In Nebraska, lawmakers stopped progress on a preemption bill that would have prevented municipalities from enacting lifesaving local laws, like ones that keep guns away from domestic violence shelters and prevent juvenile gang members and the dangerously mentally ill from obtaining deadly weapons.
- In New Mexico, lawmakers passed powerful, bipartisan legislation to strengthen that state's background check system by requiring state courts to report mental health records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Closing this gap in the background checks law will help keep guns from falling into the wrong hands.
- In Florida, lawmakers stopped progress on an open carry bill, which would have allowed 1.5 million people with concealed weapons permits to openly carry handguns in the Sunshine State.
The most exciting advances for smart gun laws still lie ahead—this November, voters in Maine and Nevada will see initiatives for universal background checks on their ballots. And signatures were recently turned in for two more ballot initiatives: one for Washington State to adopt a gun violence protective order (GVPO) law and another in California to support the Safety for All Act, sponsored by Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom.
We're also keeping an eye on some extreme examples of gun lobby–sponsored legislation that pose a significant risk to public safety, including an Arizona bill to permit guns in government buildings and a bill in Oklahoma to allow people to carry guns in public without a permit, a top priority in the gun lobby's deadly agenda.
Our legal experts stand on the front lines of the fight for smart gun laws that save lives—our attorneys track and analyze gun laws in all 50 states, file amicus briefs in critical Second Amendment cases across the country, and work with lawmakers and advocates to craft and promote legislation that will reduce gun violence and save lives. 2016 is shaping up to be another remarkable year for gun safety.

Private Sales in Arizona
Posted on Wednesday, May 4th, 2016
Arizona has no law requiring a background check on the purchaser of a firearm when the seller is not a licensed dealer, although no person may knowingly sell or transfer a deadly weapon to a prohibited possessor.1 All sales are also subject to Arizona's age restrictions. Arizona has no other laws regulating the manner in which guns are sold.
Furthermore, in 2016, the legislature passed a law that prohibits the state or any political subdivision from enacting or implementing any additional fee, tax, assessment, lien, or other encumbrance on the transfer of a firearm between two private, unlicensed parties who are not prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law.2

Concealed Weapons Permitting in Florida
Posted on Wednesday, May 4th, 2016
See our Carrying Concealed Weapons policy summary for a comprehensive discussion of this issue.
Florida does not prohibit a person from carrying a concealed firearm on or about his or her person if the person has a license to carry a concealed firearm.1 Florida is a "shall issue" state, meaning that the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services must issue a concealed weapons license if the applicant meets certain qualifications. The Department must issue a license to carry a concealed weapon if the applicant:
- Is a U.S. resident and a citizen of the United States or a permanent resident alien of the United States, or a certified consular security official of a foreign government that maintains diplomatic relations and treaties of commerce, friendship, and navigation with the U.S.;
- Is 21 years of age or older;
- Does not suffer from a physical infirmity which prevents the safe handling of a weapon or firearm;
- Is not ineligible to possess a firearm due to a felony conviction;
- Has not been committed for the abuse of a controlled substance or found guilty of a crime under the Florida drug abuse prevention and control statutes or similar laws of any other state relating to controlled substances within the previous three years;
- Does not chronically and habitually use alcoholic beverages or other substances to the extent that his or her normal faculties are impaired. An applicant is presumed to chronically and habitually use alcoholic beverages or other substances to the extent that his or her normal faculties are impaired if, within the previous three years, the applicant:
- Was committed under Florida's substance abuse services provisions or similar laws of any other state;
- Was convicted of using a firearm while under the influence of alcoholic beverages, chemical substances, or controlled substances;
- Was deemed a habitual offender for disorderly intoxication; or
- Has two or more convictions for driving under the influence;
- Desires a legal means to carry a concealed weapon or firearm for lawful self-defense;
- Demonstrates competence with a firearm (see below);
- Has not been adjudicated an incapacitated person, unless five years have elapsed since the applicant's restoration to capacity by court order;
- Has not been committed to a mental institution, unless the applicant produces a certificate from a licensed psychiatrist stating that he or she has not suffered from disability for at least five years prior;
- Has not had an adjudication of guilt withheld or the imposition of a sentence suspended on any felony unless three years have elapsed since probation or any other conditions set by the court have been fulfilled, or expunction has occurred;
- Has not had an adjudication of guilt withheld or the imposition of a sentence suspended on any misdemeanor crime of domestic violence unless three years have elapsed since probation or any other conditions set by the court have been fulfilled, or the record has been expunged;
- Has not been issued an injunction that is currently in force and effect and that restrains the applicant from committing acts of domestic violence or acts of repeat violence; and
- Is not prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm by any other provision of Florida or federal law.2
In addition, the Department must deny a license if the applicant has been found guilty of, had an adjudication of guilt withheld for, or had the imposition of a sentence suspended for one or more crimes of violence constituting a misdemeanor, unless three years have elapsed since probation or any other conditions set by the court have been fulfilled or the record has been sealed or expunged.3 The Department must issue a license or deny an application within 90 days after receiving the application materials.4 If the Department receives criminal history information with no final disposition on a crime which may disqualify the applicant, the time limitation can be suspended until receipt of the final disposition or proof of restoration of civil and firearm rights.5
Firearm Safety Training
An applicant for a Florida concealed firearms license must demonstrate competence with a firearm through one of the following methods:
- Completion of a hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or a similar agency of another state;
- Completion of a National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course, or a firearms training or safety course or class conducted by a state-certified or National Rifle Association-certified firearms instructor;
- Completion of a firearms safety or training course or class available to the general public offered by a law enforcement, junior college, college, or private or public institution or organization or firearms training school, utilizing instructors certified by the National Rifle Association, Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, or the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services;
- Completion of a law enforcement firearms safety or training course or class offered for security guards, investigators, special deputies, or any division or subdivision of law enforcement or security enforcement; or
- Presents evidence of equivalent experience with a firearm through participation in organized shooting competition or military service.6
Duration & Renewal
Florida concealed firearms licenses are valid for a period of seven years from the date of issue.7 The Department must mail to the licensee a renewal form no less than 90 days before the expiration date of the license.8 A person whose license has been permanently expired may reapply for licensure; however, a full application must be submitted and background investigation conducted.9
Disclosure or Use of Information
Personal identifying information of an individual who has applied for or received a license to carry a concealed firearm held by the Department is confidential and exempt from state public records provisions and access to public records and meetings provisions.10 The Department maintains an automated listing of license holders and related pertinent information, and such information is available on-line, upon request, at all times to law enforcement agencies through the Florida Crime Information Center.11
A resident of the United States who is a non-resident of Florida may carry a concealed firearm while in Florida, provided that:
- The non-resident is 21 years of age or older, and has in her or his immediate possession a valid license to carry a concealed firearm issued to the non-resident in her or his state of residence; and
- The non-resident's state of residence honors Florida concealed firearm licenses.12
- A person who carries a concealed firearm on or about his or her person without a license commits a felony of the third degree, although this restriction does not apply to a person who carries a concealed weapon, or a person who may lawfully possess a firearm and who carries a concealed firearm, on or about his or her person while in the act of evacuating during a mandatory evacuation order issued during a state of emergency declared by the Governor or by a local authority. Fla. Stat. § 790.01(2), (3). Note, too, that the license requirements of Fla. Stat. § 790.06 do not apply in various circumstances involving military personnel, law enforcement officers, government employees, security guards, messengers, regularly enrolled members of shooting or firearms collecting clubs (while at or going to/from club events), persons "engaged in fishing, camping, or lawful hunting" (or while going to/from such expeditions), or persons possessing arms at their home or place of business, among others.

Minimum Age to Purchase & Possess in Idaho
Posted on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016
Idaho prohibits any person under age 18 from possessing any handgun.1 In addition, anyone under age 18 is prohibited from possessing a weapon (defined under state law to include any "pistol, revolver or gun") unless he or she: 1) has the written permission of his or her parent or guardian to possess the weapon; or 2) is accompanied by his or her parent or guardian while he or she possesses the weapon.2 Any person under age 12 in possession of a weapon must be accompanied by an adult.3
The possession prohibitions concerning minors do not apply to any:
- Patron firing at a lawfully operated target concession at an amusement park or similar location, provided that the firearm to be used is firmly chained or affixed to the counter;
- Person in attendance at a hunter's safety course or a firearms safety course, including while traveling to or from these activities with an unloaded firearm;
- Person engaging in practice or any other lawful use of a firearm at an established range or any other area where the discharge of a firearm is not prohibited by state or local law, including while traveling to or from these locations with an unloaded firearm;
- Person engaging in an organized competition involving the use of a firearm, or participating in or practicing for such competition, including while traveling to or from these activities with an unloaded firearm;
- Minor under age 18 who is on real property with the permission of the owner, licensee, or lessee of the property and who has the permission of a parent or legal guardian or the owner, licensee, or lessee to possess a firearm not otherwise in violation of the law, including while traveling to or from the location with an unloaded firearm; or
- Resident or non-resident hunters with a valid hunting license or other persons who are lawfully engaged in hunting, including while traveling to or from such hunting activities with an unloaded firearm.4
In addition, no person under age 12 shall have in his or her possession any shotgun, rifle or other firearm while in the fields or forests or in any tent, camp, auto or any other vehicle in the state of Idaho, except that the holder of a youth small game license or youth hunter education graduate license, if accompanied by an adult licensed to hunt in Idaho, may possess a firearm for hunting while in the fields or forests.5
Additionally, as of July 1, 2016, state law requires the sheriff of a county to issue a license to carry a concealed weapon to those applicants between the ages of eighteen (18) and twenty-one (21) years who meet the eligibility requirements of Idaho Code Ann. section 18-3302K.6
Federal law prohibits the sale by a licensed firearms dealer of a handgun or handgun ammunition to anyone under age 21.7 This provision does not prohibit private sellers (sellers not federally licensed) from selling handguns and handgun ammunition to persons under age 21, however.
For additional information, see the Idaho Trafficking section.

Concealed Weapons Permitting in Idaho
Posted on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016
See our Carrying Concealed Weapons policy summary for a comprehensive discussion of this issue.
In 2016, Idaho enacted a law allowing an individual to carry a hidden, loaded handgun in public without a permit provided the individual is:
- Over twenty-one (21) years of age; and
- A resident of Idaho.1
Additionally, the individual must not be:
- Ineligible to own, possess or receive a firearm under state or federal law;
- Formally charged with a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;
- Adjudicated guilty in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;
- A fugitive from justice;
- An unlawful user of marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, or narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance as defined by federal law;2
- Currently suffering from, or has been adjudicated as having suffered from any of the following based on substantial evidence (unless the person has successfully petitioned for relief from the firearm prohibition):
- Someone who has received a withheld judgment or suspended sentence for punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one (1) year, unless the person has successfully completed probation;
- Someone who has received a period of probation after having been adjudicated guilty of, or received a withheld judgment for, a misdemeanor offense that has as an element the intentional use, attempted use or threatened use of physical force against the person or property of another, unless the person has successfully completed probation;
- An alien illegally in the United States;
- Someone who has renounced his or her U.S. citizenship;
- Free on bond or personal recognizance pending trial, appeal or sentencing for a crime which would disqualify her or him from obtaining a concealed weapons license; or
- Subject to a protection order issued under state law that restrains the person from harassing, stalking or threatening an intimate partner of the person or child of the intimate partner or person, or engaging in other conduct that would place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of bodily injury to the partner or child.7
Concealed Carry Licenses
The 2016 law retains the licensing process to allow individuals who wish to carry concealed handguns outside of Idaho to do so in states that require licenses. Whether the state recognizes Idaho permits, however, depends on the law of that state.
Under the 2016 law, individuals between the ages of 18 and 21 may also obtain a license to carry a loaded, concealed handgun8. Individuals over 18 years of age, however, are not required to have a license to carry a concealed handgun outside the limits of or confines of any city, if the person is not otherwise disqualified.9
Idaho is a "shall issue" state, meaning that a county sheriff must issue a concealed weapons license if an applicant meets certain qualifications.10
Any person applying for original issuance of a license to carry concealed weapons must submit his fingerprints with the completed license application. Within five days after the filing of an application, the sheriff must forward the applicant's completed license application and fingerprints to the Idaho State Police.11 The State Police must conduct a national fingerprint-based records check, an inquiry through the NICS database, and a check of any applicable state database, including a check for any mental health records for conditions or commitments that would disqualify a person from possessing a firearm under state or federal law, and return the results to the sheriff within 60 days.12
Additional application requirements, as well as permit suspension and disqualification information, are detailed under Idaho Code Ann. § 18-3302.))
Firearm Safety Training
A county sheriff may also require an applicant to demonstrate familiarity with a firearm.13 An applicant may meet demonstrate familiarity if he or she "[i]s licensed or has been licensed to carry a firearm in [Idaho] or a county or municipality, unless the license has been revoked for cause."14
Duration & Renewal
Idaho concealed weapons licenses are valid for five years from the date of issuance.15 Licenses may be renewed for five-year periods, and renewal applicants must complete an application and undergo a new background check.16
Disclosure or Use of Information
Upon issuing a license under the state law, the county sheriff will notify the ISP on a form or in a manner prescribed by the ISP.17 Information relating to an applicant or licensee received or maintained pursuant to state law by the county sheriff or ISP is confidential and exempt from disclosure under state law.18
Idaho also makes confidential any information relating to a retired law enforcement officer that is maintained or received pursuant to a concealed weapon permit or application for a permit.19
Any person who has a valid permit from a state or local law enforcement agency or court authorizing him or her to carry a concealed weapon in another state does not need to obtain a concealed weapons license under state law.20 However, a permit issued in another state will only be considered valid if the permit is in the licensee's physical possession.21 Under state law, the state attorney general is required to negotiate reciprocal agreements with other states in order to recognize out-of-state licenses to carry concealed firearms.22
For a list of states with which Idaho has signed formal reciprocity agreements, see the Idaho Permit Reciprocity page, maintained by the Idaho Attorney General.
Enhanced Licenses to Carry Concealed Weapons
Idaho enacted a law in 2015 providing for the issuance of "enhanced" licenses to carry concealed weapons.23 The rules and application procedures applicable to licensed to carry concealed weapons above are generally applicable to enhanced licenses as well, except that enhanced license holders must also be over the age of 21, have been a legal resident of the state of Idaho for at least six consecutive months immediately before applying for a license, and must have successfully completed a qualifying handgun course within the 12 month period immediately preceding filing the application.24 County sheriffs must issue an enhanced license to applicants who meet these qualifications.25

Guns in Schools in Idaho
Posted on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016
Idaho prohibits any person from possessing a firearm on the property of a private or public elementary or secondary school or in those portions of any building, stadium or other structure on school grounds which, at the time of the violation, were being used for an activity sponsored by or through a school, or while riding school provided transportation.1
Exceptions to this prohibition include: 1) a person who lawfully possesses a firearm as part of a program, event, activity or other circumstance approved by the school board of trustees or governing board; 2) any adult not enrolled in a public or private elementary or secondary school who has lawful possession of a firearm secured and locked in his or her vehicle; 3) a person who lawfully possesses a firearm in a private vehicle while delivering minor children, students or school employees to and from school or a school activity;2 and 4) any person who is authorized by a person, board or other entity having authority over the building or facility to carry a concealed weapon.3
In addition, the board of trustees shall expel for a period of not less than one year, or may deny enrollment to, a student who possessed a firearm on school property. The board may modify the expulsion or denial of enrollment order on a case-by-case basis.4
Idaho authorizes the Board of Regents of the University of Idaho, the boards of trustees of the state colleges and universities, the board of professional-technical education and the boards of trustees of community colleges to prescribe rules and regulations relating to firearms, although this authority does not extend to enhanced concealed carry permit holders.5 Idaho law also generally prohibits a person, including a concealed carry permit holder, from carrying a concealed weapon within a student dormitory or residence hall, or within the building of a "public entertainment facility" owned by a college or university (theaters, auditoriums, sports arenas, etc., with a seating capacity of at least 1,000) provided that proper signage is conspicuously posted at each public entrance to the facility notifying attendees of any restriction on the possession of firearms in the facility during the game or event.6

Open Carrying in Arkansas
Posted on Monday, April 18th, 2016
Arkansas does not allow a handgun to be carried on or about the person, openly or concealed, if it is "readily available for use with a purpose to attempt to unlawfully employ [it] as a weapon against a person."1 The statute does not apply if, at the time of the act of carrying a handgun, the person is:
- In his or her own dwelling, place of business (excluding a "vehicular business" such as a taxi cab or other motor vehicle used for commercial purposes;2) or on property in which he or she has a possessory or proprietary interest;
- Assisting a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or member of the armed forces acting in the course and scope of official duties pursuant to [their] direction or request;
- Carrying a weapon when upon a journey;3. However, a firearm may not be carried through a commercial airport at the security checkpoint or in the person's checked baggage if it is not a lawfully declared weapon.4
- Hunting game with a handgun under rules and regulations of the Arkansas State Game and Fish Commission, or is en route to or from a hunting area for the purpose of hunting game with a handgun;
- In a motor vehicle and the holder of a valid license to carry a concealed weapon.5

Grand Jury Indicts Officer in Death of Samuel Dubose
Hamilton County prosecutor: Tensing purposely killed Dubose
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters today announced that a grand jury has indicted University of Cincinnati Police Officer Ray Tensing for the killing of Samuel Dubose during a traffic stop on July 19. Tensing will be arrested and charged with murder. If convicted, he will face life in prison.Deters had harsh words for Tensing, calling his shooting of Dubose "the most asinine act I've ever seen a police officer make" and stating that Tensing should never have been a cop in the first place. Deters repeatedly told members of the media that he could not speak candidly about his feelings, at one point calling the traffic stop itself "chicken crap." Deters said he was shocked by the video and sad for the community. "I couldn't believe it," Deters said of the body cam footage. "I just could not believe it."WARNING: GRAPHIC FOOTAGEOfficials played a portion of Tensing's body cam video at the press conference. The entire video will be made available, Deters said. Deters' description of the encounter sharply contradicts Tensing's story. "This does not happen in the United States," Deters said. "People don't get shot for a traffic stop. ... He was simply rolling away."During the press conference, Deters referenced a latter portion of the video showing officers after Tensing shot Dubose discussing what had happened. Deters expressed skepticism toward some of Tensing's comments after the incident, including his arm being caught in the car. Police will investigate collusion with other officers, Deters said."He said he got his arm stuck in the steering wheel," Deters said. "You just have to watch it.""I think he was making an excuse for a purposeful killing of another person," Deters added. "That's what I think."Tensing's initial explanation was that Dubose started to drive off during a traffic stop in Mount Auburn over a missing license plate, nearly running him over. Tensing says he was then forced to shoot Dubose in the head because he was being dragged by the car and his life was in danger. Tensing said he suffered minor injuries when he fell to the ground as Dubose's car rolled away. Dubose's family said they were thankful for the grand jury's decision."I thank God that everything is being uncovered," said Audrey Dubose, Samuel's mother. "This one did not go unsolved and hidden."Audrey Dubose pledged to continue fighting against police injustice, calling for body cameras for all police departments. She said many others have died at the hands of police unnecessarily. "My son was killed by cop unjustly," she said. "I gotta know many more are killed unjustly. I'm going to be on the battlefield for them."City leaders delayed a scheduled a news conference at 2 p.m. in order to let the Dubose family speak after Deters. Officials praised the grand jury's decision, saying that the city simply wanted truth about the incident to come out. Mayor John Cranley called for demonstrators to remain peaceful if they took to the streets. City Manager Harry Black said the Cincinnati Police Department will soon get body cameras similar to the one that played a pivotal role in the Dubose shooting investigation. University of Cincinnati President Santa Ono, meanwhile, revealed that Tensing had been fired from the University of Cincinnati Police Department. He also responded to an earlier suggestion from Deters, who said the school should disband its police force and let CPD patrol campus. Ono said the school has not yet considered that option.More than 500 people including Mayor John Cranley, City Manager Harry Black and State Sen. Cecil Thomas attended Dubose's funeral services at Church of the Living God in Avondale yesterday, where the father, musician and entrepreneur was laid to rest. His mother and other family members remembered him as a kind and loving man who nevertheless had a deep, sometimes complicated independent streak. Dubose was buried at Landmark Memorial Gardens in Evendale. Until today, Deters had declined to release video footage, a decision that caused protests. Deters said the protests did not affect his decision to finally release the footage. He lauded the protesters for being peaceful and praised the Dubose family. City Manager Black had been briefed on the video and called it "a bad situation," saying, "someone has died who did not necessarily have to die." Mayor Cranley met with the Dubose family this morning. Tensing, 25, hasn't had major disciplinary actions on his record and his superiors have spoken highly of him. He started at UC last year after serving with the Green Hills Police Department, where he started as a part-time officer in 2011. Tensing has retained Stew Matthews, a Cincinnati attorney, for his defense.During the press conference, Deters called for the disbanding of the University of Cincinnati police department. He said he has spoken with UC's president and Cincinnati police about disbanding the unit, replacing it with CPD. "I just don't think a university should be in a policing business," Deters said. "I just don't. I think CPD should be doing the entire campus." Black Lives Matter has scheduled a rally for 6:30 p.m. at the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office.

Former governor dies, facial recognition program criticized, county prosecutor mocks court
Former Gov. John Gilligan, a Cincinnati Democrat best known for winning the creation of the state income tax, died at 92 yesterday. Gilligan's most lasting accomplishment was also what doomed his career; the state income tax was unpopular when it passed, even though it allowed Gilligan to boost funding for education, mental health and law enforcement programs. Gilligan's political career began in Cincinnati Council. From there, he rose to U.S. representative and then governor. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio yesterday asked Attorney General Mike DeWine to shut down a facial recognition program used by law enforcement until state officials verify and develop safety protocols that protect Ohioans' rights to privacy. DeWine formally unveiled the program in a press conference yesterday. It allows police officers and civilian employees to use a photo to search databases for names and contact information. Previously, law enforcement officials needed a name or address to search such databases. The program has been live for more than two months and so far used for 2,677 searches, but until now it was kept hidden from the public and hasn't been checked by outside groups for proper safety protocols. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters stepped down as Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter's attorney and called her handling of the court a "judicial circus." Hunter has been mired in controversy ever since she took the bench: She was found in contempt by a higher court, and she's been sued multiple times by media, including four times by The Cincinnati Enquirer. Deters, who under state law had to legally represent Hunter, said the legal troubles were too much, but his stepping down also complies with Hunter's wishes to find her own hand-picked attorney. The University of Cincinnati is one of the top colleges where students can get the most out of their money, according to PolicyMic. UC performs better than average in the graduation rate, debt at time of graduation, percentage of undergraduate students receiving Pell grants and starting salary after graduation, yet the school manages to stay only slightly above the national average for tuition and board and room costs. Mayor Mark Mallory previously approved eliminating city parking requirements, which should allow residential development projects to greatly reduce or completely toss out parking space mandates downtown. "The goal of the ordinance is to encourage development in the urban core by permitting developers to determine their own parking needs for downtown developments," said Councilwoman Yvette Simpson. "I firmly believe that the market will work to meet parking demands better than government minimum parking requirements." The tax changes passed in the state budget earlier this year, including an income tax cut and sales tax hike, will go into effect on Sept. 1. The changes have been criticized for favoring the wealthiest Ohioans, as CityBeat covered in further detail here. Gov. John Kasich approved tax credits that are expected to create more than 591 jobs statewide, with at least 40 of the jobs being created at the Benjamin Steel Company in Cincinnati. Nearly one in five workers at Ohio casinos has quit or been fired. High turnover isn't unusual in the casino business, but the numbers give a clearer glimpse at the volatility. Piloting a military drone can apparently take quite the psychological toll.

Deters, Husted Criticized for Pursuing Voter Fraud Investigation

County Prosecutor Suggests Arming Teachers
Considerable research suggests it wouldn't help
In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters suggested to WCPO TV that teachers "trained to handle a weapon" should be armed. The idea isn't surprising coming from the Republican county prosecutor. In the onset of tragedies like the one in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., conservatives tend to counter liberal cries for more gun control by saying the United States actually needs more guns. They argue an armed society deters and is more effective in stopping criminals. The problem is the idea contradicts broader scientific research. Following the attack at Tucson, Ariz., that nearly killed former U.S. representative Gabrielle Giffords, economist Richard Florida looked state-by-state into what factors correlate with gun violence. He found no correlation between gun violence and mental illness, higher stress levels, neurotic personalities, higher unemployment or inequality. However, his research did find that the places with the most gun control tend to have less gun violence. Researchers at Harvard Injury Control Research Center found another correlation: Whether looking at countries or states, more guns means more homicides. More specifically, men and women in places with more firearms are at a larger risk for gun-related homicide. The University of Pennsylvania tackled the issue from a different angle in 2009: The researchers looked at gun assault cases to see if gun owners were more or less likely to be shot. They found people with guns were 4.46 times more likely to be shot and people who had a chance to resist were 5.45 times more likely to be shot. In 2009, ABC News ran a 20/20 special that used a simulation to gauge whether armed civilians can stop attacks. The simulation placed trained and armed students into a classroom, where they thought they would be getting additional firearms training. In the middle of the lecture, an armed gunman broke into the classroom and began shooting the teacher and students with fake rounds. In all the examples shown, none of the students were able to stop the gunman before taking shots that would have been deadly in a real scenario. Essentially, being trained in the use of a firearm was not enough to prepare someone for the high levels of distorting stress experienced in a real crisis. In their defense, conservatives typically point to a few stories, including one in which a gun-toting Florida senior stopped an armed robbery at an Internet cafe. But are a few feel-good stories enough to trump scientific research? After all, one of the main purposes of the social sciences is to sort through outliers and find real tends with strong evidence. Looking at the facts and research available, perhaps it's better to focus on mental health services and gun control than it is to arm school teachers and staff, as suggested in CityBeat's Dec. 19 news commentary. CityBeat could not immediately reach the prosecutor's office for comments through phone or email. This story will be updated if comments become available.

Some honest questions
"I was sitting there looking at Petter's proposed circuit and Nelson's patents and the idea sprang into mind that the "X" concept and the Aleph concept were not mutually exclusive."
Let me see if I understand this..... you came up with the Aleph X topology independently of Nelson's help by combining the X amps and Aleph design. Are you pulling our leg or are you really that experienced an amplifier builder? If the second is the case I doff my hat to you because I never knew you were at that level.
The active crossover........
It seems to me that I remember you were the one who desired a kinship with the Pass labs crossover by calling your creation the Xenover. reverse engineering the resistor matrix and Qs of the filters slopes was just a fun challenge and moamps is the one that came up with the closest likely values. He is a sharp guy! Somewhere along the way I came up with a different resistor matrix that was more along the lines of what I wanted for parts count, form factor of the pin grid, and number of adjustments. That was quite a bit of effort and a very satisfying endeavor. The result of which I shared with who ever would like to use it. It seems to come to mind that moamps and I working independently came up with a discrete transistor op amp along the lines of what Pass recommended in his op amp article.
"Clearly it's an emotional issue with him, not a logical one." Actually it's both. Good circuit design takes a lot of logic and is way beyond just fiddling around with some parts on the bench. I am passionate about audio design, and as a friend put it does not suffer fools gladly.
I would love to support you on your stuff more often, but you get so much wrong that it gets frustrating trying to unconfuse the victims of your advice. I tried to be nice replying to one of your other post and follow the advice from someone we both get along with, to just ignore you. Then you come along and dump this load of intrigue on my head....
Your remark "It's nothing but a Sallen-Key filter," is an insult to people that have put a lot of effort into the topic on the forum. If it is as no sweat as that, I would expect that we would have seen the design you promised.
"The name Xenover was suggested by the intentional simplicity of the circuit. And, no, it's not an "X" circuit per se. I doubt that anyone is going to be fooled by the difference between "Zen" and "Xeno," but just in case, I'll issue a disclaimer: It ain't Nelson's circuit. It ain't intended to be Nelson's circuit. So there."
I appreciate that clarification but chuckle over the irony, since this stuff was posted in the Pass Labs thread and even better, in the DIY progress report thread! You have a fine eye for satire. Is Xenover still the name of your project? I actually liked the suggestion someone gave you of "Rollover". I just call it the Wenever.......... that was a bit of harmless humor so no diatribe is called for.

Nelson, could you possibly give us an idea of when zen.v6 is going to come out? I've got everything ready, but I'm anxiously awaiting. I just finished an Aleph 3 and a gainclone all within the last month so I need a third to compare!

On the origin of the Aleph-X: It's somewhere in Petter's X-100 thread. Whatever that date is, that's when I realized that the two would fit together; that the X topology was primarily a front end concept and the Aleph topology was mainly an output topology. This was well before the introduction of the XA-200, so it's not as though I could have seen a crude, hand-drawn reverse-engineered schematic of the circuit. At the time, I didn't even realize that Nelson had any plans along those lines, I was just thinking out loud. After my post, and some derogatory posts that followed, Nelson posted something to the effect that an amp of that sort would be coming, which sorta changed things.
What...you think Nelson, for devious reasons of his own, called me up and said,"Grey, I've got this really oddball thing that I want you to do. I want to slide you this circuit under the table and have you advance it as your own." Get real, Fred. Nelson's got plenty of avenues he can use to put circuits out in the public domain. He doesn't need me. And why me, of all people? I'm just a guy playing with parts out in the wilderness. Even if he didn't want it associated with his name, for who-knows-what reason, it'd be easier to push it across the desk to Cyclotronguy (or any number of other people) and have him do the deed.
For what it's worth, there were only two real changes between my original conceptual (i.e. pre-prototype) schematic that I sent to Nelson and the one I eventually posted in the Aleph-X thread. 1) Variable drive on the current source for the front end. 2) Resistors from the outputs to ground. When Nelson warned me that I'd have absolute DC offset at the output, I went in prepared with a few ideas once I got a chance to build a prototype. I'd run it as a thought problem on the drive to and from work and scribble ideas at stop lights. I started in with fifteen or twenty ideas, maybe more, I don't remember. One of them was the resistors to ground at the outputs, but the lowest value I was comfortable trying was 1k--which didn't work--and I discarded the idea. Nelson suggested that I try 30 ohms sometime later that spring (which really shook me up--I'd figured that I was getting pretty low with 1k). That was the only formal "help" I received from Nelson, and I believe that I mentioned it in the Aleph-X thread. If I neglected to do so then, I will say it now:
Thanks, Nelson.
The variable current source I did on my own. I'd tried varying the front end load resistances. It works, but why do two adjustments when you can accomplish the same thing with one?
Ian MacMillan (I think I got the last name right; I believe it's Mac instead of Mc--if not, please accept my apologies, Ian) got the resistors-to-the-current-source trick. I had that idea on my original list of things to try, but managed to convince myself that it wouldn't work before I even tried it, so Ian gets the credit. That one embarrasses me--I should have followed through.
Thanks, Ian.
Your contribution? Running in circles crying to the heavens that anyone who hooked up such a P.O.S. circuit was wasting their time, money, and quite probably endangering their speakers.
Thanks, Fred.
And, actually, you can do quite a lot with parts and a bench. It most assuredly doesn't take an EE degree. I take as my inspiration the ham radio guys. (To those looking for textbooks, you could do worse than to buy a copy of the ARRL Handbook.)Their that-looks-good-enough approach gets the job done. Rules of thumb, while anathema to uptight snobs, do actually work in the real world. My hat's off to the ham folks. They're the ones who cobble together a working radio from baling wire and chewing gum and summon help after earthquakes and hurricanes. Meanwhile, obsessive EE-types are still bemoaning the fact that their expensive CAD programs won't run because their computer's down. The joke being, of course, that the CAD program (once the EE steals juice from the ham radio guy) tells the EE that the ham fellow's circuit won't work. That's about the time that the rescue choppers are coming over the hill, naturally.
Just a Sallen-Key filter? Yep. And I'll say it again: It's just a Sallen-Key filter. Put the numbers in, turn the crank, and out pops the answer. The formulas are quite simple; just basic algebra. Anyone who tries to mystify the process has an agenda. Mind you, the end user still has to choose the frequency and Q intelligently, but that's another story, entirely. F=1/(2*PI*R*C) is well within the capabilities of the members of this site. I use a spreadsheet and sometimes an old non-programmable hand calculator. In a pinch, it can be done with a pencil and paper. If you try hard enough, you can get an approximate answer by doing the math in your head.
All it takes is an opamp, either chip or discrete, a cap or two, and a few resistors. Tube folks can even do it with a follower (as can solid state people, of course). Easy.
Hats off to Sallen and Key.
As to posting about the crossover in the DIY progress thread--as I recall someone asked. Everything else I think I've addressed in the Xenover thread.
In short...yes, given the tone of your post, I'd say it's clearly emotional. Thanks for offering, but I don't need your support or approval. The Aleph-X works, the Mini-A works, the Xenover works. If I haven't actually built a circuit, I say so. In most cases, I build it before posting unless it's trivial. I don't bother simulating, it's a waste of time. Proof? Note how many people said the Aleph-X wouldn't work, based on simulations. I'll take a working circuit over a simulation any day.
Or, as Professor Ludwig admitted near the end of the semester, back when I was in school,"All this calculation and stuff is fine, but sometimes you've just gotta build it and see."
And the funny thing is...he was right.

"Running in circles crying to the heavens that anyone who hooked up such a P.O.S. circuit was wasting their time, money, and quite probably endangering their speakers.'
This is the most disingenuous that you have ever said. I was so amazed that it several minutes to even figure out what P.O.S. meant. Are you implying that is my opinion of Mr. Pass's work or yours? Do you consider your schematic of the Aleph X to be based more on your ideas or his? For someone accusing me of emotionalism, subterfuge, and hidden motivations it is a remarkable statement. I guess your motivation is clear at least. For the record, I expressed concerns that people pay attention to making sure the amp is stable and would offer that advice on building any amp. As for wasting time and money....... I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you?
"Just a Sallen-Key filter? Yep. And I'll say it again: It's just a Sallen-Key filter. Put the numbers in, turn the crank, and out pops the answer."
Do you really think active filter design is that trivial? I don't. Doing a little reading is pretty beneficial as to understanding what difference between the something like a Bessel and Butterworth filter and the Qs for to achieve them. I believe Some of these standard filter alignments have been used for decades and there is a reason. I believe Mr. Pass even used standard filter alignments in his crossover. If I was as evil as you say, I would ask if you even knew what a Sallen-Key was before it was discussed in the thread. But, I'm not and I' won't
I don't know why you want to trivialize the act of designing. There seems to a resentment for anyone who actually might want to know how circuits work beyond just throwing parts together and playing around on the bench. I know people have limited time but a little time reading will save you a lot of time and frustration. Learning some circuit theory will not keep you from building audio equipment and will help you understand others circuits (even Mr. Pass's) and build better circuits of your own. Wake up and smell the coffee. most of the post on the forum are by someone asking a question about how something works. I would guess that most of them are looking for something other than anthropomorphic storys about the emotional lives of circuits that do very little explain how they work.
"Note how many people said the Aleph-X wouldn't work, based on simulations." I don't remember even one.......... does anyone else?
I don't want to scare anybody off from building equipment. Having some knowledge of how it works is very helpful. As I remember, Mr. Pass even puts some theory in his construction articles! Grey, I remember you bemoaning the state of education once and agree with you on declining education standards. I find ironic that with that viewpoint that you try so hard to keep anyone from learning anything about audio design. Education never hurt anybody but a lack of it puts some real limitations on how far one can go in most endeavors.......... even audio. How's the work on the X-Type preamps that said you were working on month going?
PS I read your latest story in analog. I always did think your real talent was in writing fiction, unfortunately it seems to be creeping into your post here as well and at a growing rate ........... If you will excuse me, I have to hike out to the hills to look for iron.

Boys, Please take this outside. It reminds me of the Dan Akroyd/Jane Curtin spoof of Point/Counterpoint. "Jane, you ignorant...." Amusing at first, but now wearing thin.
You both have a lot to offer this community. How about agreeing to disagree on philosphy? Maybe a "responding to each other's posts" moratorium would be a good thing.
Thanks to both of you for your positve contributions.

The Glendale City Council may be deadlocked in a vote to fill Phil Lieberman's vacant council spot.
The council was expected to vote Tuesday on whether to appoint a replacement for Lieberman, who retired Oct. 30 before his term ended.
Ian Hugh was elected earlier this month to represent southeast Glendale's Cactus District, Lieberman's seat. But the winner typically wouldn't be seated until Jan.15.
At last week's council workshop, filling the vacancy appeared unlikely as Vice Mayor Steve Frate and Council members Manny Martinez and Joyce Clark said they felt no rush to appoint someone since four newly elected council members, including Hugh, would take office soon in January.
Mayor Elaine Scruggs, citing the "serious, significant issues facing the city," favored Hugh's appointment. Councilwoman Yvonne Knaack supported that decision.
Councilwoman Norma Alvarez said she could go either way.
Hugh's appointment would need at least four votes.
Scruggs at the workshop had said she would not take it to a vote since it appeared likely to fail to avoid embarrassment for the council and Hugh. In a memo she sent to the council and senior management over the weekend , the mayor said she changed her mind after Hugh requested that the matter be sent to a vote.
"Mr. Hugh has stated to me that he is willing to have his appointment voted on and will not be embarrassed if it is not supported by a majority of the Council," Scruggs wrote.
Martinez had said he felt an appointment could wait, considering only a few more meetings are left and that it wouldn't make much difference in the long run.
Frate said council assistants could help with constituent concerns until January.
He noted the most recent council vacancy occurred in 1998 in Ocotillo District just before an election and no appointment was made. The elected council member was seated at the usual time.
The council has gone both ways in the past 20 years or so. In six instances, a two- to three-month appointment took place to fill vacancies, the city attorney said.

Frost-proof hose bib location?
I'm renovating a house I intend to live in - it's gutted to the studs. There were no exterior hose bibs before, so I'm adding them. There are two places I want to add them but am unsure if it meets code. They are the best practical locations I can come up with.
The first one will come through a 4" exterior wall and the valve will be located inside an interior cabinet (on the warm side of the wall), above floor level. The other will come through a 4" exterior wall and the valve will be located underneath a laundry basin, above floor level.
Is this kosher?
I couldn't find anything in my Torah that prohibits it.
I don't see why you couldn't do that.

For our many readers across the pond...
After it makes its world premiere at the upcoming 2011 Venice Film Festival, Andrea Arnold's adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic and only novel, Wuthering Heights, which features the first black Heathcliff in the many times the literary work has been adapted for both the big and small screens, will open in the UK on November 11th.
The young British actor who is starring as Heathcliff in Andrea Arnold's film is an unknown by the name of James Howson.
And, in the image above, we get our very first look at him in character.
By the way, the official synopsis for this adaptation of the novel reads: "A Yorkshire hill farmer on a visit to Liverpool finds a homeless boy on the streets. He takes him home to live as part of his family on the isolated Yorkshire moors where the boy forges an obsessive relationship with the farmer's daughter."
Not-so unlike the original novel's plot.
Looking forward to seeing a trailer or some footage of this. No word on a stateside debut, though I'm hoping it plays at the New York Film Festival in the fall, so I can check it out.
