legal
Law is a system of rules created and enforced through social or governmental institutions to regulate behavior, with its precise definition a matter of longstanding debate. It has been variously described as a science and the art of justice. State-enforced laws can be made by a group legislature or by a single legislator, resulting in statutes; by the executive through decrees and regulations; or established by judges through precedent, usually in common law jurisdictions. Private individuals may create legally binding contracts, including arbitration agreements that adopt alternative ways of resolving disputes to standard court litigation. The creation of laws themselves may be influenced by a constitution, written or tacit, and the rights encoded therein. The law shapes politics, economics, history and society in various ways and serves as a mediator of relations between people.
Legal systems vary between countries, with their differences analysed in comparative law. In civil law jurisdictions, a legislature or other central body codifies and consolidates the law. In common law systems, judges make binding case law through precedent, although on occasion this may be overturned by a higher court or the legislature. Historically, religious law influenced secular matters, and is still used in some religious communities. Sharia law based on Islamic principles is used as the primary legal system in several countries, including Iran and Saudi Arabia.Law's scope can be divided into two domains. Public law concerns government and society, including constitutional law, administrative law, and criminal law. Private law deals with legal disputes between individuals and/or organisations in areas such as contracts, property, torts/delicts and commercial law. This distinction is stronger in civil law countries, particularly those with a separate system of administrative courts; by contrast, the public-private law divide is less pronounced in common law jurisdictions.Law provides a source of scholarly inquiry into legal history, philosophy, economic analysis and sociology. Law also raises important and complex issues concerning equality, fairness, and justice.
Hypothetically, let's say this new "assault weapon" ban passes in OR. If someone were to not register their concealed carry pistol that holds more than 10 rounds, and then used it in what would otherwise be considered legal self defense, does the legal status of the weapon have any impact on...
Last July I posted about a person I know who has a family member charged with murder in a negligent shooting situation. I was told yesterday this person's lawyer is going to be presenting evidence to the DA the EMTs who responded were 'negligent' in their duties and in fact caused his death as...
Are select fire NFA rifles legal for hunting in Oregon? Inquiring minds wonder. If the NFA rifle meets all other Oregon State requirements such as magazine restrictions and muzzle energy, would a NFA select fire light automatic rifle be legal to shoot deer with in Oregon? Hunting license and...
What do you do about legal insurance if you carry and have to use it in self-defense? Do you have general legal insurance coverage (e.g. LegalShield), or do you carry specific coverage for criminal defense in a DGU situation (NRA)? The coverage offered by the NRA is almost as expensive as full...
So now that the Oregon Attorney General finally decided that the Remington Tac-14 is okay to own in Oregon it got me wondering if I could build one using my current Remington 870. I bought an 870 that came from the factory with a pistol grip and I am thinking that if I swap that for a raptor...
I saw this article the other day about a couple in Everett Washington that discovered a thief in their stolen car in a McDonald's parking lot, and held them at gunpoint until the police arrived.
"Police said the owner of the Land Rover did not commit a crime."
My understanding of Oregon law...
Didn't see any regs in the wdfw booklet prohibiting it for general fishing. People may think I'm crabbing or shrimping, since it does it all, but I release what's not in season. Want to make sure it's legal. Please cite or link source.
1. Is a 10" barrel (for an AR 15) legally transferable to someone in California (from someone in Oregon), without going through an FFL? (Hint: I am pretty sure I know the answer)
2. Is a 10" barrel allowed on an AR 15 PISTOL in California?
3. And most relevant to this scenario... Why would a...
