It seems like we are losing more and more cases in the courts this year.

Court throws out ruling that invalidated Washington gun limits

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An appeals court on Tuesday threw out a judge's ruling that said licensing requirements in the U.S. capital for people who want to carry concealed handguns outside the home likely violated the U.S. Constitution's protection of the right to bear arms.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled on a technicality, meaning it did not decide the merits of whether the regulations in Washington violate the Constitution's Second Amendment. The lawsuit will now be re-assigned to another judge.
The court found that New York-based U.S. District Court Judge Frederick Scullin, who had issued a ruling in May saying the city's restriction was likely unconstitutional, did not have authority to decide the case.
The District of Columbia regulation allows for "concealed-carry" licenses to be issued only if the applicant has "good reason" to fear injury or has another "proper reason for carrying a pistol."
