    Grapeshot told me to set up a separate thread for this, so here it is. As (partially correctly) reported by the Milwaukee (WI) Journal Sentinal newspaper, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has sided with police in a very bad 4A decision, against me. We're appealing to SCOTUS. That's expensive...
