Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'bopping the clown' negotiation tactic?

The 'bopping the clown' tactic involves making an unexpected or blunt statement in a negotiation to provoke an emotional, non-strategic reaction from the other party. This allows the negotiator to make better decisions when the opponent is reacting emotionally, often leading to a more favorable outcome.

How does the Bruen decision impact California gun laws?

The Bruen decision requires California to abandon judicial balancing tests for Second Amendment rights and instead rely on historical text, history, and tradition. This has led to challenges against restrictive laws like SB 918, which designates many areas as 'sensitive places' where carrying is prohibited.

What are the main concerns with California's SB 918?

SB 918 creates numerous 'sensitive places' where concealed carry is banned, making it nearly impossible for permit holders to avoid violations. It also shifts the burden to businesses to affirmatively post signs welcoming firearms, otherwise, they are presumed prohibited, and carrying in such places becomes a misdemeanor.

What is the outlook for California's new gun control legislation?

Experts believe that California's new gun control laws, like SB 918, are highly unlikely to survive court challenges due to their blatant disregard for the Bruen decision. However, the legislative process involves continuous attempts to create new restrictions, necessitating ongoing legal battles and advocacy.
