Appeals Court Stays Judges Ruling On DC Gun Law

The case will be expedited with briefs due in August.

Quote:

Washington (CNN) — A federal appeals court this week issued a stay of a lower court ruling that found that part of a Washington, D.C. gun law was likely unconstitutional.

The law requires applicants who apply for a license to carry a concealed firearm demonstrate a "good reason to fear injury to his or her person or property."

In a one-page order, the three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit agreed to expedite the case with final briefs due in early August.

Any one else think its funny how all these cases are now getting expedited by the gun grabbing Judges? Me thinks they want to get as many as possible up the chain while they have a 4 to 4 court. And they say the courts are not a political body...

If Hillary wins that will mean 12-years of Dem judicial appointments. A lot of people don't realize that huge numbers of final decisions are at federal appeals and federal district.

If you stayed out because you did not like Romney or McCain, or if you stay out because you don't like Trump (I hate him and he has my vote over Hillary) then you can look forward to a major shift in case law on second amendment issues.

DC gun owners got a fluke win on CCW and it was never going to last

Since this is an appeal from an interim ruling, it is not at all unusual for consideration to be expedited, since there has been no trial on the merits. Then again. Charles Nichols (an in pro per plaintiff suing to establish open carry as the guaranteed right) appealed a denial of his motion for preliminary injunction, which was stayed pending the final resolution of Peruta well over a year ago. In theory, that stay could be lifted soon, but if there is a petition for cert in Peruta, that may change.
