Congress can, and should, enable shall issue CCW for DC immediately.
“CA won’t abide by such a ruling. They already thumb their nose at the constitution and and current court rulings. But, I hope to see such a ruling.”
I had been looking forward to the CCW Permit Reciprocity Bill to be passed, but again, despite more than 200 co-sponsors in the House, Ryan appears to think he can keep this from a vote. If it were to pass, California RATs would be apoplectic because lots of people here have obtained Out-of-State Utah CPW’s that are good in 37 states, California not yet being one of them.
This is not a matter for the courts.
Legislation for D.C. is the sole prerogative of Congress.
“in the same way that gays grabbed marriage licenses in KY after a court ruling.”
It’s still only sodomite play-pretend marriage. No man is married to another man; no woman is married to another woman.
They are only accomplices in sodomy, on the fast track to Hell.
We need to wait for two things to happen before taking the DC case to the SCOTUS:
1. “JustUs” Kennedy needs to retire and be replaced ( a much easer replacement that either Buzzy or Breyer) because he’s considered a “moderate.”
2. McInsane dies, which will be within the next year.
Let’s hope that they diddle around with an EnBanc at the Circuit Court level first. And maybe the SCOTUS refusing to hear Peruta is a good thing. Maybe they knew that this DC Circuit decision was coming and they will finally finish off the RATs on the 2A all at once.
Or a shooting war.

>> “And they let California’s “may issue” stand, by declining to hear an appeal from the 9th Circuit.” <<
I suspect that you misunderstood that action!
It was led by the staunchest conservatives of the court, simply because they knew that they could not carry the day with the court’s present configuration.

Your pessimism may be unfounded.Just recently (last year IIRC) SCOTUS,in a 9-0 decision,slapped down the Massachusetts Supreme Court's effort to criminally convict a woman who had the audacity to use a "stun gun" to defend herself against a violent boyfriend.
IIRC the decision,at one point,referred to the Massachusetts court's decision as "frivolous" which,to my understanding,is SCOTUS for "get your head out of you a$$".
If you have a minute check it out...it's called Caetano v Massachusetts.
For anyone else interested in reading the opinion itself rather than what people are saying about it: Wrenn v DC
I don't know about that. I wish it would happen here, but I doubt our communist governor and mayor would ever allow it, nevermind both state houses of congress and the NY supreme court. They don't believe in Natural Rights here, only what they allow us to do.
That said, I'd LOVE to carry around here. I'm a small guy, and I'd actually feel safe carrying.
I would give up drinking alcohol if I was able to carry.
Agree. The point was to flood the PD for the permits in the same numbers. No comparison was made between the pervs and Americans.
No criticism was intended.
