Buh Bye Concealed Carry

[polski]

In case you missed this ruling that came down last Friday from the 10th Circuit.

"The Second Amendment's guarantee of a right to bear arms does not extend to the right to carry a concealed weapon in public, a federal appeals court in Denver has ruled."

I bet dollars to doughnuts this opens the door for the radicals in Denver to move on this.

Shit.


What about open carry? I don't ever open carry but would be forced to if I couldn't CCW.

[merl]

open carry can already be banned.


show isn't over, just sets the stage for a SC ruling.

[BPTactical]

But yet the 7th Circuit in Illinois just ruled Illinois' ban on CC unconstitutional....

Yep, looks like it'll eventually head to the SCOTUS. Hopefully sooner than later.

[SA Friday]

It should have been addressed in the DC v heller ruling, but they couldn't find their sacks.

That Peterson guy is a POS... It clearly states in CRS that you will be denied for CCW if you're not a resident. But despite that you go and sue...
ETA: After reading the complaint info, unintended consequences at work here... You sue on grounds of unconstitutionality of a government official's decision (based on state law) and the courts rule on the lack of infringement of constitutional rights = shot to the proverbial foot of all gun owners here in the State.

So right Ronin, the guy is not a resident and sued to say it was his "right," the original intent of his battle was not about the constitunality of CCW but CO would not let him carry here.

..............now this garbage sets a potential precendent for anti 2a to try and get CCW pulled all together.

Telling you, if they use this and keep pushing some people are going to get

[Kraven251]

I don't see them coming after CCW because of this ruling, but I do see them using this to establish ccw bans at the municipal level and citing this.

It would just further my desire to avoid Denver. Though, I also think this will be a different fight once the attempt is made to apply this to CO citizens. I am waiting for the 2014 elections and hoping to get this state back on track.
