DC asking for more time on carry case

[revenger 473]

Washington post has a story about the ongoing carry case in which the stay expires on Oct 22nd.  District politicians want more time to craft a law and by the sounds of it they are looking into something I have mentioned here before, They are examining states like Maryland, NY, NJ that have survived the circuit level of a citizen have to show "good cause" or "justifiable need" .   So it looks like they will just copy and paste from laws like ours.   go to NRA ILA for the link

I hope they take our law word for word.  Let it get challenged in another district.

Completely agree.  Use our BS law as a copy/paste and let's see it get skewered and grilled and overturned.

they have had enough time they need to actually put some work in

Take all the time they want. Take 10 years. 20 years.

 

The stay should expire at the 90 day mark and they should return to permitless carry. Gura was gracious (if practical) agreeing to the 90 day stay. that's what they asked for, they got what they asked for, F-them after 90 days.

I'd bet money the stay gets extended

It's funny how states/districts have no problem passing anti-gun legislation in record time (SAFE Act anyone)?

 

But it takes FOREVER to draft something even remotely "pro" gun when they are forced to by the courts.

Probably not by Judge Scullin. The circuit would probably do it though.

 

They may try to carbon copy MD, NYC or NJ but that is going to prove difficult since they relied on the Peruta decision. The decision also said that they must allow carry for self defense. NYC does not allow self defense as a reason to carry.

NYC does not allow self defense as a reason to carry. 

Apparently neither does NJ even if you've been kidnapped or directly threatened.
