So if I carried there tomorrow and got arrested I could sue them for millions of dollars?
you would think NRA-ILA would up-date it's news feed about this glorious victory!!! good for the gun owners in d.c.!!!
As I read it, as an uninformed schlub, the decision throws out DC's total ban on carry permits, but it won't stop them from enacting a may-issue scheme, which you can bet will be highly restrictive.
Also, the decision says "the Court grants Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and enjoins Defendants from enforcing the home limitations of D.C. Code § 7-2502.02(a)(4) and enforcing D.C. Code § 22-4504(a) unless and until such time as the District of Columbia adopts a licensing mechanism consistent with constitutional standards enabling people to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms."
Does that mean that DC is no-permit-required carry until they adopt a permitting plan?
So DC and Illinois before Maryland? What's next, New Jersey? I'm happy and all, but I'm hating this state more and more.
Anyone know the background of the judge ... whether he would be more inclined to take our (Constitutionally correct) viewpoint on this matter, or he was swayed by Gura's argument, especially given the time it took for the ruling?
Future progress will be to show that G&S type standards where self-defense rights of citizens are considered unequally are de facto bans.
