Welcome, Gene.

It seems this is as close to a direct split as we've had to date with regard to Kachalsky (NY).

I'm hopeful about a cert grant (should we reach the petition stage) but I am pessimistic about a possible bad en banc decision. The Supreme Court MUST realize that, eventually, 'bear outside the home' must be answered more plainly than it was in Heller.
