Heller expanded: right to carry outside the home

[Oh Shoot]

Yes and no way does the SCOUTUS take this case. It's already been addressed recently and I believe they will cede to the 7th's decision.

Wouldn't that also de facto make all "may issue" states become "shall issue"?

Sounds right to me. Any legal minds care to chime in? Bionic Post

While they don't take every case, in most cases where federal courts have decided similar cases differently, they tend to take a test case to fix that.  With the NY case saying there is no right to carry a weapon outside your home, and the IL cases saying there is a right, it's unlikely that SCOTUS will not review one of these cases and make standard case law across the entire country.

 

It might take 2 more years for a case to get to SCOTUS but I suspect it will happen next year.

The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto is one of the best editorial voices out there today.  He's got some good analysis of Moore vs. Madigan in his piece yesterday:

That's a good article. Thanks, MacGyver. :D

 

I'm beginning to wonder about the federal courts. Obamacare is allowed by SCOTUS, 2nd becomes a right, more and more,

which is a recent phenomenon. Kind of a contradiction making me think something is concerning the judges more than

something I can't wrap my mind around.

I'm glad that IL is being forced to get in line with the rest of the country. I dreaded visiting family and friends there, cause I would always have to unload my firearms at the IL/IN State line.

My favorite quote from the opinion was, " " A man's home may be his castle, but when he goes out, the Constitution goes with him."
