Supreme Court may take up gun carry case

[fire_medic]

From Guns Save Lives. Because of split decisions in states and appellate courts over the right to carry a firearm outside the home. Fingers Crossed.

We can hope.

Can someone explain how and when the SCOTUS takes on case. Is it on a specific schedule?

Given the fact courts have been making policy instead of deciding real constitioniality, I fear this case as much as I am hopeful. I do not understand the confusion of shall not be infringed...

Assuming they make a decision tomorrow, how would that affect the Wollard Case?

Check the monster threads on Wollard (in this section ) , and on the other Federal cases , esp Kalatchey (sp) (in National 2A ) , with particular attention to anything Esqapplellate ( an atty who practices in Federal Apeals ) .

If I remember correctly, this would then be on the October 2013 calendar for oral arguments, which means we MIGHT get a decision right after new years.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Them hearing it may or may not cause the 4th to order en banc review.

The real teller will be the ruling

You ask the Court to hear your case by petitioning for a "writ of certiorari" (aka, cert) by submitting briefs outlining why they should hear the case. The opposition responds, you reply, all of your friends get to send in briefs (amicus curiae, "friend of the court"), the Clerk distributes it for conference. At the conference, the Justices vote, four votes gets the case heard. They held the first conference on 12 April, and today, 15 April, is the first public meeting of the Court after the conference, when they will distribute the orders (including cert decisions) coming from that conference. The court may relist the case for another conference, basically meaning one of the Justices was not ready to vote on it on 12 April and needs more time to consider the case, or they're waiting for some external event (Moore's petition for cert)

Assuming they make a decision tomorrow, how would that affect the Wollard Case?

Kachalsky and Woollard are substantially similar, if the Court takes Kachalsky, Woollard would expect to be stayed at the 4th Circuit pending Kachalsky's resolution in June 2014.
