As I expected, DC is getting a lot of presssure not to appeal to the SCOTUS.
Our homeboy Frosh is leading the charge.

If I were a betting man I would certainly put money on the anti-2A crowd prevailing on DC to not seek cert because of the risks involved.
And, truly, why should they? They have enough leeway for T,P,M restrictions that legal carry in DC will be next to impossible anyway. I'm sure that's an argument that Bloomberg, Frosh, Feinstein et al are making.

So how do we put pressure on them TO appeal it?

“Really it’s the fate of the whole country you have in your hands when you’re making this call,” Frosh said. “You want to protect the people of D.C., but you don’t want to make bad law for the rest of the country.”
So says the expert of making bad law. Apparently he failed to notice how many states have that nasty Shall-Issue stuff on the books.

So when does the order go down for DC to drop carrying a pistol without a license charges?

Concur. DC can't lose anymore. Seeking cert is a "free" bite of the apple.
Perhaps. But if DC saw that as a solution, would not TPM restrictions already be in place?
This has been my point. The law already stipulates T, P and M as as a reflection of DC's philosophy on carry.
Any attempt to add additional restrictions after a loss in court could be viewed as an an attempt at retaliation or further infringement on the right in an attempt to avoid the court's mandate.and most assuredly end in another lawsuit.
If DC intends to tighten their laws, they better have a better reason beside "we lost."

You'll still need a permit to carry. DC just won't be able to decide who has a "good reason"

Looking at another thread with restrictions on time & place, looks more to be a wallet trinket anyway..
I will still get one if we prevail.
It's the principle of the thing.

If I had reason to go into DC regularly, I'd get one just to be safe from their ammo possession law. Wouldn't want to become prohibited by getting caught with a spent casing.
another great reason

Yep.almost seems like the permit only protects you carrying in a vehicle. You walk a few feet this way or that way and you're in a GFZ.
there are plenty of places in DC like residential areas where you could carry. DC is a lot more than just the Federal enclave downtown
While many of us only go downtown, there are plenty of people who live and work in DC and seldom go downtown.

This is a really stupid question.
If DC chooses not to petition for cert, can the prevailing party (e.g. Wrenn) petition for cert?

IANAL, but on what grounds? Their position was affirmed bu the DC Circuit.
They were not harmed by the ruling
They were not harmed by the ruling
That is why the question was asked.
Possibly because the law was based on Maryland, New York, and California. Someone smarter than I might be able to think up a harm.
I admit, it is an unconventional way to get to the top for a national standard.
