Gregory T Angelo, Tyler Yzaguirre, Cameron M. Erickson
and Robert M. Miller have, or maybe had, a action pending in DC. Miller
lives in Virginia. The others live in D.C. The object of the lawsuit
is the DC statute forbidding carrying of legally owned and otherwise
legally carried concealed weapons on public transit within D.C. (D C
Code 7-2509.07 (a) (6). You can get a fine and 6 months in the slammer
for violation. None of the plaintiffs has ever been convicted, charged
or arrested for violation of the statute. They assert that they do not
carry their weapons on public transit in D.C. because of this statute.
U.
S. District court judge Randolph Moss, an Obama appointee, rejected
their claim on the basis that they could not demonstrate any actual harm
(injury in fact) caused by the law to themselves or for that matter
anyone else. The 25-page ruling asserted that it is not enough for them
to claim possible harm but they must demonstrate ACTUAL harm.
Their request for an injunction was denied.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Judge Moss' actual harm reasoning does not seem unreasonable.

Sounds a lot like judicial bs.
That sign should include exceptions. LEOSA is a big exception that has been violated before. New York State paid big settlements.
