IMPORTANT SECOND AMENDMENT RULING

by Bob Walsh

The U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has just issued a ruling (2-1 vote) in Brian Wrenn vs. D.C., case #16-7025. In that ruling the court stated that the right to carry a weapon in public is a CORE Second Amendment Right and that the current actions of the government of D.C. amount to a complete and total ban on this right, making the actions of the district unconstitutional.

This makes it more and more likely that SCOTUS is going to have to take an honest-to-god real look at open carry vs. concealed carry permits vs. constitutional carry vs. whatever. This will be especially interesting for places like CA and NYC and LA that totally ban open carry and highly restrict (to the point of outright prohibition) the issuance of permits to carry.
