This guy in Colorado can now say he meets the Standing requirements and challenge the law before the Supremes DUE TO HIS ARREST. Without that, he would have no case under these criteria.

Well, I didn't want to leave anyone with the idea that people who are arrested don't have standing; nor did I want anyone to think that standing is the only way to obtain standing. The test for standing is quite well established in law.

Thanks Va. I appreciate the info even if I took a different spin on it after reading it. Do you know of any case law that I could look into to see if anyone has mustered a successful challenge with a Standing as you described it? Just a link to point me in the right direction would be helpful, I really don't want you to feel that I have you doing my leg work for me. I just don't know where to start looking. Gimme a push...;-)

Well, interestingly enough, there is a case involving gun rights. Its on out of California. I provide you this link at the risk of you using this case to undercut my arguement. It doesn't, however it wouldn't be fair if I didn't point you to it and see what you think (by the way, I completely disagree with this case, but the TEST for standing is correctly stated (but not correctly applied)).

HICKMAN v BLOCK (Scroll down to part II for the standing discussion)

OK, I see your point. You are right though that I could use this case to under cut your argument. I won't though. It read about what I expected from a CA court. Nausiating.

Still, I don't think this guy in Colorado had even that much of a reason for his injunctive relief request. He was just a guy who wanted to carry a gun and was tired of the GodGov telling him he couldn't. That directly set against our 2A.

His methodology may be unorthodox, but I won't quibble if it produces the desired result.
