What does "en banc" mean?

[green iguana]

This was a 3 judge appeals court ruling. 3 out of the how ever many judges it is that make up the DC Circuit. If it's appealed and heard 'en banc' that means that all of the judges of the DC Circuit (minus the 3 who's ruling is being appealed) will hear the case.

With just a touch of sarcasm, what this means is that the only 2 members of the DC Circuit who likely believe that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right will have to sit out the appeal...

It's where people keep their money, but that's not important right now.
