So all DC has to do is not issue licenses? I was reading another article that the ruling did not strike down license requirements, laws on felons and the mentally retarded...
It cannot refuse licenses arbitrarily and capriciously. Unless DC can quickly show some sound reason why Heller should get his license, it must be issued forthwith; I would expect that Heller could proceed as though he has a license, since, were he arrested, he could argue that the only reason he does not have a license is that DC has wrongfully failed to give him one; the government is not allowed to punish people for its own mistakes. Not that that's ever stopped it before, of course...
