patton, your situation is rather complex, I don't know what to tell you. did you talk to a lawyer?
this was the correct decision, because of the absolute nature of the DC law. but I don't know that its as far reaching as some are suggesting here. Does this mean the Brady background check law is unconstitutional? does this mean that anything other then totally open CCW laws are unconstitutional? does it provide for the interstate acceptance of carry permits?
I don't post on these 2A threads much - but I've always said, "be careful what you wish for". the current system of state based laws, works pretty well in this country - generally speaking. open up this can of worms amongst the federal judiciary, and who know what the hell they will send the states way as an end result.
Right now, I'm cautiously optimistic about how this would fare in the SCOTUS. I'm not positive that it will go our way, but I do think that now might be the best time to give it a try. We might not have this opportunity again in our lifetimes.
Sure, I talked to my lawyer. She say, "The state of NY has a bigger lawyer budget than you do."
BUT - if the USSC rules NY law an infringement of my rights, I will certainly sue for past damages. In spades.
What can of worms could the judiciary open up? State and local governments have had a free hand to ban at will. Can you outline a Second Amendment ruling that would negatively affect the RKBA at the state or local level?
