MONROE COUNTY Chapter

March 26th 7PM, Elks Club East Henrietta Road    Speaking at the March Monroe County SCOPE meeting will be Attorney James Ostrowski.

Attorney James Ostrowski is aggressively blazing a path to the U.S. Supreme Court for your Second Amendment civil rights.
James Ostrowski, Esq. is actively fighting the unconstitutional NY gun control regime at the highest levels of the state and federal court systems.

His current court cases included:
Libertarian Party of Erie County v. Cuomo   This case, expected to be argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals on Feb. 20th, 2019 (one step away from U.S. Supreme Court review), seeks to nullify New York State’s pistol permit requirement based on the following:
Unconstitutional - 2nd & 14th Amendment rights violated
Overly subjective nature of 'good moral character', 'good cause', and 'proper cause' requirements
Application of “intermediate scrutiny” to Second Amendment restrictions when “strict scrutiny” is most appropriate for this constitutionally enumerated right

The People of the State of New York v. Benjamin Wassell  This case, expected to be argued in New York State Supreme Court on Feb. 28th, 2019, seeks to reverse a SAFE Act conviction erroneously applied to a Western New York resident, based on the following:

Unconstitutional and void for vagueness
Due process violation
Jury instruction error
Lack of equal protection under the law
Lack of prosecutorial authority
Not supported by legally sufficient evidence
