The safe storage law applies to all firearms generally. The evidence of the case demonstrates that Heller also owned long guns which he stored outside of the District precisely because of the safe storage law. Thus, the ruling on the safe storage law should withstand an attack as "mere dicta" which I presume will be one of the arguments asserted by the District on Monday when its response to to the motion from Heller to amend the stay of mandate is due.
I'm confused about something ... I thought that the only person who had standing had been denied a handgun permit ... meaning that there was no standing for the issue of how long guns must be stored ... yet they struck down the laws regarding the storage of long guns ... even though there was no standing?
