This is the WaPo story on the Palmer victory. The comments section of the story is just precious. The denizens of DC woke up to Constitutional Carry and the gun grabbers are apoplectic.

Sunday morning schadenfreude.

Grab a copy and drop it off at Police HQ. Then send a copy via registered mail first thing Monday. That constitutes “actual notice”.

The IL decision on CCW stuck without going to SCOTUS. Hope that’s the case here, though I’m sure DC will at least request an appeal. No matter what happens, DC will make their permits as onerous as possible.

I’m presuming DC would not issue any CCW permits, right? Surely they have not approved open carry.

Won’t make any difference. They’ll just ignore the court order.

"No matter what happens, DC will make their permits as onerous as possible."

D.C. already has made permits onerous. That is why I think the judge worded the order in the way he did.

"Scullin said he was stopping enforcement of the law “unless and until” the city adopted a constitutionally valid licensing mechanism.

He basically told them that he knows they have a licensing system, but it is not valid, and to come up with something that will pass Constitutional muster.

Now what we need are some people starting to carry in DC. If they are arrested, this case will make them instant millionaires.

OMG, here’s one of those precious posts now:

SirWalkalot:
However, the specific context in which the 2A was negotiated was The Richmond Convention, called for the purpose of deciding whether to ratify the new Constitution.

The South, particularly Virginia, needed to find a way to forever prevent a Northern-controlled Congress from DIS-arming its militias, An amendment did the trick. The South definitely need its militias to enforce slavery.

And once slavery was eliminated, the purpose of the 2A disappeared.

“The gun grabbers can go to Hell.”

I disagree. I want the grabbers to see every last shred of gun control defeated, invalidated, rejected, ridiculed, and mocked. THEN they can go to hell.

DC may be a little cautious about this. The election is coming up. The House just passed a bill that defunds enforcement of gun laws in the District. The Senate is up for grabs, and the second amendment has been a hot topic...

“Won’t make any difference. They’ll just ignore the court order.”

Oh, they’d like to. But there is one little detail that stands in the way. Gun owners. Gun owners who can’t wait to go into DC and carry. Openly. In large numbers. DC can arrest, but they can’t afford the payouts.

“Furthermore, this injunction prohibits the District from completely banning the carrying of handguns in public for self-defense by otherwise qualified non-residents based solely on the fact that they are not residents of the District.”

A whole lotta people are gonna do road trips just to OC in DC!

The South definitely need its militias to enforce slavery.

And for other purposes beyond this narrow interes projected as the totality of intent. Once "established":

And once slavery was eliminated, the purpose of the 2A disappeared.

Classic libtard spin.

He ignore the 14th amendment completely. Or, he is just losing.

I'll bet it's losing, but his ilk could still pull it out in one swell foop. We still have to keep our eyes on the Senate for a last-minute-lame-duck-dark-of-night-two-thirds-of-whoever-happens-to-be-there ratification of the UN Small Arms Treaty. Else; our gains will have been for naught.
