Thanks for the heads up on that...I'll be listening to that for sure. Here are some of the beautifully made points in Norman's reply:
"Both of the parties conceded below that carrying a concealed firearm was a privilege and that the right to bear arms outside the home is fundamental. No other fundamental right is subject to licensing before exercise of the right is allowed in a lawful time, place, and manner."
"The abrogation of a fundamental right until one has gone through an approved procedure to obtain the right, is a denial of substantive due process rights."
"The right to bear arms is the right to an effective means of self defense. The right to carry openly has always been viewed as the protected expression of that right."
"No tax, training, or application is required to exercise any other right in the Declaration of Rights or the Bill of Rights. The right to bear arms should be no different."

NRA and Everytown are both filing amicus briefs
Maybe this will convince some folks that the NRA doesn't hate open carry.
Yeah, the NRA is all for open carry...Yet, not a one case have they brought up in 8 yrs since Heller. And as far as not " hating open carry "...I bet their position on open carry includes a license.
By the way, how can the government compel someone to enter into a contract/license in the exercise of a right?....The application that one signs for the license is the contract, just in case you don't understand.
Bouvier's Law Dictionary
LICENSE, contracts. A right given by some competent authority to do an act, which without such authority would be illegal. The instrument or writing which secures this right, is also called a license. Vide Ayl. Parerg, 353; 15 Vin. Ab. 92; Ang. Wat. Co. 61, 85.
to be far they have only brought one carry case total
that being Peruta
they did bring the 18-20 year old carry case in McCraw but that had nothing to do with carry and everything to do with age bans.

Wow, woulda missed that. Thanks! Orals for Norman start at 10:00am.
It's on now
Sorry about that. Some other case is on now.
Geees, they started early and I missed the ABOUT 10am time...I thought the scheduling was pretty precise?...My luck.
State has no clue what their compelling interest is in regulating open carry...People will be frightened, was about best they could do.
Will they post up the audio/video in a few days?...Would like to see/hear Friday's arguments.

Norman's attorney expecting an opinion in 3-6 months, seems rather quick unless their Supremes are statutorily held to a time limit.
