D.C. must generally grant gun-carry licenses to law-abiding adults

Never heard of Pink Pistols before but I am glad they won. Their website says "We teach Q****S to shoot" I left out the inflammatory word. I welcome everyone that believes in the 2A.

I'm on my phone and didn't see it, but what was the count? 5-3 or unanimous?

Imagine if lots of honest law obeying citizens of Washington DC embrace concealed carry. Then imagine if the crime rate goes into a tail spin.

Never mind the press will still not report it. President Clinton will not change her stance on guns.

Home now and realize that it was a federal judge and not a SCOTUS ruling.

Andy, did you know ELB beat you by about 3 hours?

Why would you if it's their own statement?

Any (OK, the vast majority I would assume) judgement for 2A is a good judgement. I would rather the anti's be in the position to appeal than us...

Do they have a chapter in New Jersey?

As far as the case goes, the "good cause" specified by the plaintiff was the Second Amendment, not membership in Pink Pistols.

Yes, I was posting in jest. I should have included an emoticon. NJ makes it difficult for anyone to get a CCL regardless of good cause or need OR the Second Amendment. A police chief can decide you don't need a license, since NJ is a "may Issue" state. Maybe the Pink Pistol group can get it done in NJ.

It will be entertaining to see how DC frustrates the effect of this ruling by imposing other restrictions. That DC will do so is a lead-pipe cinch.

When I read through the memo, I thought there was a reference to many group members belonging to a "sexual minority" and, therefore, more likely to be targeted.

NJ would be a good test case, though. Chris Christie claims to want to remove the "good cause" requirement but the democrat controlled legislature won't budge. I don't know if the 3rd Circuit has already ruled on a challenge to the "good cause" requirement, though, or how vigorously the NJ AG would defend the requirement.
