Michel gives 2-to-1 odds that Peruta will be overturned

[old lady new shooter]

Chuck Michel is in a video on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaxxuyBvB-M)
saying he gives 2-to-1 odds that Peruta will be overturned.

I supposed I am prejudiced but after reading several of the amicus briefs (excellent ones from Western States Sheriffs Association, International Law Enforcement Educators, and Abbott/Jindal et al among the best IMO) I don't see how the court could rule for San Diego.

Anybody here have any theories as to why Michel would come out and say this? He mentions in the video that if Peruta is overturned the SCt will have to get involved... do you think he could be TRYING to get it there?

Speaking of amicus briefs, the ones in support of the plaintiffs come from quite a range of groups that some would consider strange bedfellows... I consider this a big plus.

Chuck is reading the composition of the court and betting the justices will have opinions consistent with their liberal-ish/conservative-ish records.

Peruta almost certainly will be appealed to SCOTUS no matter what 9th does.

I am agreeing with the astute Librarian . When you get over 10, 9 Circuit folks together, the outcome usually will not be pretty for our side,

To SCOTUS it will go. We will prevail there, IMO.

From your mouth to G-d's ear.

Unless the makeup of the court changes. Elections do have consequences.

And we can SEE the consequences of the last election!!

IMO, good or bad, which ever way Peruta ends up...... eventually, so will the rest of the country.

The original 9th decision in favor of Peruta referred so much to the previous SC rulings that if Peruta falls, so will the previous SC ruling(s), eventually.

The most troubling aspect of this going to the SCOTUS is whether or not it will get there before "Dumbo" has a chance to "stack the deck"!

 

[old lady new shooter]

The stated justification for not giving permits is that concealed carry is a threat to public safety, but several of the amicus briefs cite numerous statistics proving the opposite. This being the case I don't understand how Peruta can be overturned, the claimed rationale is not based on facts.

???????

 

[Librarian]

Appeals courts are seldom concerned with 'facts'. That is for the trial court level. Peruta is about application of the law - under which consideration the court should rule similarly to the 3-judge panel last February. IMVHO.

Do you think this ruling by the 7th Circuit may soon be the road traveled for Concealed Carry?

“If it has no other effect, Highland Park’s ordinance may increase the public’s sense of safety,” wrote Easterbrook. “Mass shootings are rare, but they are highly salient, and people tend to overestimate the likelihood of salient events. If a ban on semi‐automatic guns and large‐capacity magazines reduces the perceived risk from a mass shooting, and makes the public feel safer as a result, that’s a substantial benefit.”

What a horrible ruling. I don't understand how they get away with that.

BTW I googled the gunowner in question, he is a pediatrician, not exactly the leftist stereotype of a "gun nut".

Too much heat and not enough light. The matter is before the Ninth Circuit, and all this speculation is worthless.
