I guess we’ll find out how stupid the attorney for DC and the DC council is within the next three months. If they’re smart they’ll craft a carry law they can live with during the 90 days. If they’re stupid they’ll push the stay and appeal while doing nothing and be in the same place they were yesterday with the stay spent.
I tend to think they’re a little smarter than a rock. But not much. We’ll see how horrible the end result is. Sooner or later they’re going to tire of being the Second Amendment Foundation’s punching bag. And there is also the threat of Congress getting involved. So I think they’ll get carry but on a par with say Texas. Expensive and a pain but available.
The fact is that is that the 2A is an individual right to both keep AND bear arms. DC effectively banned the right to bear arms. I think in the end, they’ll be forced into some form of “shall issue” carry, though they will make it difficult.
Looks like there needs to be a show of force at the next DC council meeting. Just a little get together of a thousand or so 2A supporters to drive a needle in the point, sort of stick it home.
I sure hope something good comes out of it. You know I have a vested interest in seeing how this all plays out.
