I would prefer the Feds ended up in jail and reimbursing Red's for all expenses but I can't complain a whole lot if this goes down as described:
An Idaho gun shop that went to federal court to keep the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from stripping it of its gun license has reached a tentative settlement with the government.
Attorneys on both sides told U.S. District Court Judge Mikel H. Williams on Wednesday that they had likely agreed on how to end the case.
Mark Geston, an attorney representing Terry and Ryan Horsley of Red's Trading Post, said he could not yet release details, but said the proposal would allow the Twin Falls gun shop to continue operating.
"I think everybody's reached a cooperative and constructive agreement," Geston said Thursday. "The judge said to have it finalized in 10 days and we'll just do our best to do that. The agreement allows Red's Trading Post to continue as a gun shop in Twin Falls."
I tried to check out Ryan's blog but Blogger reports:
Sorry, the blog at redstradingpost.blogspot.com has been removed. This address is not available for new blogs.
This is entirely speculation on my part but my guess is pulling the blog down is part of the settlement. Stepping even further into baseless speculation one could say it's a sad day when you have to give up your 1st Amendment rights to exercise your 2nd Amendment rights.
