We need a federal carry license. Too many states with too many different laws

This is why we lose, if we refuse to step forward at the federal level the only possible direction to go is backward. Until even those of us in the "good" states are affected by draconian gun laws. We are our own worst enemy, as soon as you concede an enumerated Constitutional right as really a states' rights issue we have lost, because the antis don't feel that way at all. |

The response isn't a decision, it's just the appellant's brief stating why he doesn't think the state has a case. Basically, the appellant argues that there isn't really a circuit split on this issue (as the state argued), and therefore the state is "estopped" (prohibited) from appealing the decision.

One slight correction to AB's post: The estoppel issue wasn't due to a circuit split or lack thereof. According to the appellant, the State was estopped from arguing what it wanted to on appeal because that position was inconsistent with what they'd argued before. A party can't spend several years arguing "The law means X," and then turn around on appeal and claim "The law means Not-X."
The quoted scribd link sends me to a removal notice, "due to suspected copyright infringement." The link in Post #50 does not do so.

Thanks for the correction, Spats. I'm sure I have mentioned before that I'm not a lawyer. Now we see why.
I had the same issue with the links. |

my limited understanding about this is that the higher court did not decide in favor of the people's right to keep and bear arms; it instead stated that the lower court's ruling is incorrect and that the same court needs to rewrite their version of the law....
