District of Columbia now Constitional Carry?
« on: July 26, 2014, 06:25:00 PM »
It may be, released this afternoon is the verdict in Palmer vs. DC and it sounds good: http://alangura.com/2014/07/victory-in-palmer-v-d-c/

It will be a few days for the legal pundents  to get up to speed and break this all down for us but a greet job to the friend of the NFOA, Alan Gura.  It was Alan who referred us to David Sigale to handle our cases, he was too tied up primarily with this case.

It's a step in the right direction. Interesting line here: "...unless and until such time as the District of Columbia adopts a licensing mechanism consistent with constitutional standards...."

What infringement is consistent with the 2A, exactly?

This will be appealed and a stay will go in place, but in the mean time it feels good to think  the Constitution holds true in our Nations Capital.
