John Ray Davis Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The 4th Circuit has overturned the District Court. This means that Maryland's abritrary requirement for a "good and substantial reason" for a handgun permit stands. The Court held that restrictions outside the home are subject to intermediate scrutiny. This is pretty clearly headed to the Supreme Court. Decision is at: http://www.volokh.com/wp-content/upl...3/woollard.pdf We are still fighting the proposed state laws. Link to comment
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Sad day indeed! I agree, this will end up in the Supreme Court, along with many, many other gun laws. I can envision an entire year where the only thing SCOTUS hears concerns firearms! Dogmeat Dad Link to comment
Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Perhaps instead of hearing individual cases they can write a position on the entire nature of gun control what is legal what is not. Of course, I would be anxious to see what they say the definition of infringe is. Link to comment
Brasspounder Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Ap;pointment/confirmation of one more liberal SCOTUS judge that thinks the Constitution should be "open" to 'modern interpretation' is all it will take.... Link to comment
Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Time to get legislation proposed that defines a good and substantial reason in favor of gun owners. ... like self protection. Link to comment
