Where Are We With The 2A Cases?
Here is a wrap-up of where things stand. The links of each case refer back to the Internet Archive, as that's where the final determination will mostly be made, as most circuit courts will remand.
Finally, yes, we are still waiting on whatever might happen to Nordyke v. King (part 5?) - perhaps among the longest running cases in our judicial system. That's 23 cases (one-third of the cases I have listed in the main 2A Cases thread) at the Circuits or finished. |

And we're still waiting a district-level decision on the DC carry case, right? The one that Judge Kennedy basically sat on forever so they gave it to a retired judge...?

Gary, while I don't have any objections to the thanks you offer, I simply can't let what you said stand. I am nowhere near the league in which Alan Gura plays.
To imply I am, is to denigrate Mr. Gura's own standing. The thanks are appreciated. I'm just a reporter, so the comparison is false. |

[facepalm] sigh [/facepalm]
The point in posting this was to show everyone, especially those who think nothing is happening, that there is actually more going on than at first glance. When going over the Current 2A Cases list, I was amazed at how many cases were actually at the circuit level. It's hard to tell, when you just browse those first 5 posts. Look at what will happen in the next couple of weeks! Orals for Lane will be heard today. On the 21st, briefs in Schrader will be due. On the 23rd, briefs from Moore, Shepard and Woolard will be due. On the 29th, briefs in Piszczatoski will be due. On June 4th, another brief in Schrader. On June 6th, orals for Hightower. On June 8th, orals for Moore/Shepard... Also opening brief for Enos will be due. In the big picture, a lot of things are happening this summer. Should we get conflicting opinions at these circuits (circuit splits), this bodes well for a SCOTUS cert for the 2012-2013 session. |

You have tirelessly and (IMHO) brilliantly chronicled his efforts and the efforts of other attorneys and laymen to accomplish the same ends. This has been no small effort on your part, and your efforts are greatly appreciated by this TFL member, and, no doubt, by scores if not hundreds of others, as well. No, you're not in Mr. Gura's league when it comes to fighting legal battles for our rights, but your common-sense interpretation of legalese and commentary on his strategies have been invaluable in keeping us informed of the progress of this particular war. I never said you were Sherlock Holmes, but you are an extremely energetic and competent Dr. Watson.

RE: Fletcher v. Haas.
The appeals time clock has run out. I neglected to report that. Corrected. I also emailed Comm2A for clarification of the following (posted at MDShooters): Quote:

The NRA should just erect a statue to Alan Gura outside their main building or something. The guy is all over the map fighting these cases.
Al, thanks for the summary. It IS hard to keep track of all the different cases going on. |

NJgunowner, I would settle for the NRA just playing nice with the SAF.

I have a feeling that the NRA sees SAF as a competitor to their fund raising and membership.

Funny how some organizations confuse the means of accomplishing their organization's activities with the purpose itself. Fundraising is the means, not the purpose of the NRA"s existence.

Osterweil v Bartlett set for Oct 26 2012 NYC
Everyone interested in being able to protect themselves in one or more of their homes should follow this case- It is on the record for oral argument in New York City this month, October 26th, 2012, with Paul Clement handling the argument for Mr. Osterweil.
Further, there will be a talk radio segment with one of the attorneys on www.talk1300.com, an Albany news radio show that can be heard through your computer if you are out of the Albany listening area. That will be this Thursday, 10:AM-10:30AM, hosted by Fred Dicker, the Albany Chief of the NYPost newspaper and radio show host. If you own 2 homes but can only protect yourself in one of them, how does that make any sense? |
