The letter attached by the original poster says the state has appealed and the 4th circuit court will hear the case. The appeal is filed, that is factual, but did the 4th circuit court agree to hear the case. Just because an appeal has been filed doesn't automaticaly mean the 4th will hear the case. If the
4th circuit court has not agreed to hear the case as of the date of the letter that was issued, the state is blatently lying and therefor had no right to return a lawful citizens application for handgun permit. Please...someone research whether the 4th circuit has agreed to hear the appeal and match the dates with this letter. I see a possible technicallity in their premature response.
That makes sense, but returning the application unprocessed is the same as a denial since the applicant still doesn't have a permit. This is especially true since the letter referenced G & S.
Why not cash the check and hold the application as they have done for all the others? Doing what they have done makes a case for having adjudicated the application, no?
the 4th HAS to hear the case
OK - but why treat the ones before the stay differently than the ones after the stay. Is the temporary stay not retroactive to the date of the decision?
the 4th HAS to hear the case
I have a sneaky suspicion that the establishment is playing hardball after not getting Frosh's last minute amendment to HB579 approved.
I would be livid over this. Actually..I'm mad for him...
