For the second time in as many years, a federal judge in Washington ordered the city to halt enforcement of its new, concealed-carry law that requires applicants to state “good reason” to carry a weapon in order to obtain a permit from police.

Wish there were legal/employment repercussions for people that habitually pass laws that are struck down as unconstitutional..

There should come a time when this official misconduct loses the protection of "good faith," and these people should be personally liable for a constitutional tort.  It truly is outrageous that they substitute one oppressive and illegal scheme after another, and lose in the courts every time.  Imagine what would happen if a pro-life state passed one total ban on abortion after another, each in direct contravention of existing law.  And yet here we have a right enshrined in our founding documents that is held in abject contempt by those whom we entrust to make the law.  The Eastern Shore has plenty of chicken farms.  I'm sure I can get feathers.  You bring the tar.

Yes!

MD has been watching this one, since the "good and substantial" requirement here is equal levels of fucked (though bureaucratically easier to skirt if you have the connections).

They will just make up some other bullshit reason and keep on trolling the court system. We should start hanging these assholes after the 1st law of theirs that receives an unconstitutional ruling.

Is this an immediate hold on the current rules?

Does that mean that - like last time - until they quickly pass some new rules, open and concealed carry is temporarily legal in D.C.?

It probably means it now reverts to shall issue instead.

  The case is still pending.  The Plaintiff asked for - and got - a preliminary injunction.  As of now DC is enjoined (prohibited) from "denying concealed carry licenses to applicants who meet all eligibility requirements other than the 'good reason' requirement."


Thank you.

There is in Florida. When state preemption passed making all local ordinances involving firearms null & void and holding local politicians personally and financially responsible for any contrary legislation, the city attorneys couldn't scrub the books fast enough.

That type of legislation would be welcomed in Illinois.  Welcomed by the citizens anyway.....

Interesting isn't it, that when the government wants people to stop doing something they don't like (be it legal or illegal - it doesn't seem to matter), they will arrest them and force compliance through the use of financial and personal hardship; but when the government ignores the will and actual intent of the court and the people, there is no recourse but to let them to continue, without penalty, until eventually they are successful in their goals.

In the interest of equality, these fuckers should be driven to personal and financial ruin using whatever means necessary. The "you may beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride" approach to behavior modification would be appropriately ironic in cases such as these.

What about all the licenses that were denied before the injunction because they didn't meet the good reason requirement?  How many will they actually issue while they are sorting this out?  My guess is 0.

Government officials who break the law should be hold criminally liable. Also, before these fuck tards pass another unconstitutional law it should have to pass a court ordered litmus test. This constant flaunting legal judgements is ridiculous.

Until the politicians and government officials suffer some personal impact, or have their re-election chances put in jeopardy, they're going to continue to do whatever the hell they want. People that live in DC, VA, and MD need to find a way to impose some personal cost on the people who continually ignore the second amendment.
