If that's all she's got, what's Maryland's excuse?
Say that DC does not file for En Banc or Cert and lets it become law of the land.
You would need en banc if the court felt that the damage to the parties arising from the (in its view incorrect) panel decision was too high to tolerate. But yeah, other than that, published decisions are the only ones that count.
Where can I see the statistics for those?
I agree, advised by independent counsel, Hogan should tell MSP Secretary. .. we are now shall issue to those with a reason.....Hogan should get a set and order MSP to accept self defense as meeting G&S forthwith.
It's been almost four years now and he ain't grown none yet.
Looks like fuzzy math.I found the most current numbers (2016) for published cases
http://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/data_tables/jb_b12_0930.2016.pdf
DCCA has 61.8% unpublished (218 published cases)
9CA has 92.3% unpublished (516 published cases)
9CA has 2.4 times the number of published cases
Looks like fuzzy math.

"The original Northampton statute took effect in 1328. Its language will faintly remind Anglophiles of studying Canterbury Tales—in the original."
Love it.
I think your just fuzzy.
It is simple math
DCCA 570 opinions; 218 published (38.2%), 352 unpublished (61.8%)
9CA 6709 opinions; 516 published (7.7%), 6190 unpublished (92.3%)
516/218=2.4 times more published cases
There are more cases but they are either consolidated or terminated for procedural reasons.
Yep.
Would be cool to see an excerpt of both, by way of comparison.
As long as "a reason" includes 'because I want one'.I agree, advised by independent counsel, Hogan should tell MSP Secretary. .. we are now shall issue to those with a reason.....

Just listened to Steve Holbrook on NRA News. He seemed pretty positive that this victory is short lived and we're going to an en banc.
It's possible, but recall that Heller 3 was decided by the same COA. DC petitioned for en banc, but that was denied in Feb '16. AFAIK, the city did not file for cert with SCOTUS.
Then again, the idea of public carry makes liberals apoplectic, so rational sense goes out the window.
Since Heller, Obama packed the DC Circuit with another 4 judges. Heller was denied en banc 6-4. These 4 additional jurists change that equation. I'm hopeful intellectual honesty and the rarity of en banc on the Circuit will prevail, but we all know how the 2A gets liberals' panties in a messy twist.
