CCW Victory in DC
« on: July 26, 2014, 07:01:34 PM »
Great job, Second Amendment Foundation!

Quote
A federal judge in the District of Columbia on Saturday overturned the city’s total ban on residents being allowing to carry firearms outside their home in a landmark decision for gun-rights activists.

We'll see what they do, they are not going to just allow CC.

What choice will they have? If the District attempts to go the way of Chicago, SAF/GOA (heck maybe even Johnny-Come-Lately-NRA) will sue them again and won as happened in Chicago.

Yes they will do something to get sued again, it's all a delay tactic.  They are already talking about it this morning.  DC Police have said this morning nothing changes as far as they are concerned.

Police Chief Recognizes Carry Reciprocity in D.C.

Quote
    STUNNING DEVELOPMENT: DC Police Chief Lanier just told force not to arrest a person who can legally carry a gun in DC or any state.

As of 6:24 p.m. on July 27, 2014, this is a welcome development.   Many have said that the D.C. political establishment will ignore the judges order.   This shows that Police Chief Lanier is, at minimum, unwilling to be found in contempt.  Notice the broad extent of the order: no arrests for a person who can legally carry a gun in D.C. or any State.

With 30 states having open carry without a permit, and over 11 million concealed carry permits valid in the United States, that is a lot of people who may legally carry in the District.

As of yet, I would not depend on the D.C. Police to know that it is legal to openly carry firearms in Wisconsin, for example.  It would be prudent to allow those with current state permits to gently educate the D.C. police force that they have to respect the Constitution.   We do not know how long this situation may last.  It is possible that the D.C. government will attempt to obtain a stay to stop the judges order.   They may appeal.   They may not want to irritate Congress where the House recently voted to cut off funding for District gun control laws.

The Boston police chief last week said that no one living in the city needed to have rifles or shotguns in their homes and the local police chiefs should decide who can have them. The wave of corruption regarding our inalienable rights is unbelievable, especially in the NE and CA. I hope we can defeat I-594 this fall and send a message.

It's the first step.  Most likely outcome is they put together a program where it is technically possible to get a license although nearly impossible in practice - similar to NYC.  They certainly won't introduce a "shall issue" program.  They can make it expensive, burdensome and ultimately give the decision to the Chief of Police who will simply not issue them.

Expect places like DC to fight it every step of the way.  A good start, but very early in the game.
