It is about time to uphold the 2nd Amendment! - D.C. Gun Ruling Could Open Door To Universal Carry Laws

We all have the Federal Right to Carry a Gun, but it kept being taken away, illegally! m/r

D.C. Gun Ruling Could Open Door To Universal Carry Laws (Updated) | The Weekly Standard

JUL 29, 2014 • BY WHITNEY BLAKE

In a surprising decision, a federal judge overturned Washington, D.C.’s open and concealed carry banthis past weekend. While the ruling has received some fanfare, few reports have paid attention to the section in the order that invalidated D.C.’s firearms residency requirements. Just lifting the ban would have affected the approximately 630,000 residents living within the District of Columbia, but the judge went a step further with his little noticed residency decree.  

Legal experts say this is the first time a judge has ruled on—or even been presented with in this manner—the hot-button firearms issues of residency and reciprocity. The judge determined that non-residents cannot be barred from carrying handguns in D.C. simply because they do not live there. This establishes an uncharted precedent that has the potential to affect gun laws across the country. In the interim, it has already madehuge waves inside our nation’s capital.

The immediate implications are significant, according to John Lott, a preeminent gun law expert and president of the Crime Prevention Research Center. “We have a big experiment now, where people who come into work in D.C. are going to be able to carry....In fact, even more people can carry now in D.C. than can carry in Virginia or Maryland. In Maryland, it’s very difficult to get a permit, but I can go and lock my gun in my trunk in Maryland, drive into work in D.C., and as soon as I cross the border, take the gun out and put it in my pocket.”
