I concur with the determination that this will not reach SCOTUS. I tell you one thing: Judge Silberman is going to be PISSED at DC.
This entire topic of Parker might require a new thread of its own, as I don't recall many noting that it still has standing for D.C.
I don't consider it silly. The 2A uses the term "bear arms". Somehow we have to flesh out what that means. I have a certain amount of sympathy to the position that bearing arms means to do so in an open way. It also has a closer fit to the militia issue. Militimen did not CC their arms.Sorry for that little rant, but I know a huge new argument will be whether "bear" means open or CC, and it just seems so very, very silly to me.

It's been decided that that "keep and bear" are individual rights, not collective as you still seem to feel since you say "the militia issue."
Nope: California self-incorporates the BoR.PLUS argue for incorporation of the 2nd via the 14th.

With open carry scaring the sheeple, and licensed concealed carry of effective arms available, open carry was increasingly discouraged. The "presumptive criminal intent" of CCW remains, but now open carry is so rare that it too has given way to "presumptive criminal intent".

Although that link was already provided, for those who don't know, all docs related to the Parker/Heller case can be found here:Anybody got a link to the appellate decision?
soooo, poor people like me can now ccw with no permit in SF and not worry as much as before Heller?
How long till we get shall issue in CA?
I don't see how you can argue a matter of state law in federal court, unless you were able to claim federal law was somehow involved.Not certain, but I don't think so. You can argue state constitutional issues in Fed court, I *think*. That needs to be confirmed by a lawyer though.
