jake8267 Posted March 13, 2017 at 12:46 PM Share Posted March 13, 2017 at 12:46 PM It is impossible to read the Peruta briefs or understand the oral arguments and come to the conclusion that the Peruta plaintiffs sought to carry a handgun in public in "some manner." Instead, the NRA lawyers argued that Open Carry can, should and must be banned in favor of concealed carry which is very different from the question the Peruta cert petition presents. <snip> This seems sufficient to render your two claims (which I quoted above in this post) debunked. The 9th Circuit simply mischaracterized Peruto's arguments and ignored the issue of whether or not the 2nd Am protects our right to bear in public in some fashion. The good news is that they clearly avoided the question becaues they knew they'd lose. So that's encouraging. So, moderator, tell me how you would respond to these follow-up posts? What do you need from a moderator? He quoted parts of the briefs that he understands to support his position that you are incorrect in your statement regarding the NRA and Open Carry. A proper response would be to quote the parts of the briefs that support your statements, if you choose to continue the debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this, I mean your readings of many decisions appear far more cut and dry than the courts have presented, and presumably intended, them.

No doubt, you are one of them. This decision, Norman v. State, is the only decision which holds that Open Carry can be banned in favor of concealed carry. And once again, we have another concealed carry cert petition citing Moore with no claim by the petitioner that Moore stands for the proposition that states can ban Open Carry in favor of concealed carry and no explanation by those here who cling to the fantasy that it does as to why if this were true, none of the so called gun-rights lawyers have put forth their interpretation of Moore in their cert petitions?

kurt555gs Posted March 17, 2017 at 03:09 PM Share Posted March 17, 2017 at 03:09 PM As many of you know, restoring open carry to illinois is the most important state 2A issue in Illinois for me. I look at this Florida ruling with sadness because although it doesn't legally effect what happens here, the concealed only bunch will be repeating it chapter and verse every time the subject is brought up. There was a time when I thought legalizing open carry was possible here. Now I think it will be a very long time, if ever. So, realistically I have given up. I can still wish for some judicial miracle, but legislatively I think it's over.It's sad because tactically open carry isn't that important in the short term but strategically it is in the long run. Eventually I'll just move to one of the 45 states where open carry is legal. Until then, I can only watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a general right to carry, period. I have done no hair splitting as to the manner, and my personal opinion is that "keep and bear" more closely approaches openly carried arms; any arms short of crew served weapons. Practically, Moore says one thing: a state cannot ban ALL carriage of firearms in public. CA7 did not say that OC could be banned in favor of CC, but they also didn't say it couldn't, and held that while the state has the power to regulate the manner, it did not have the power to prohibit it completely. This is very much in line with Heller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those non-residents that had their out of state license unilaterally revoked due to the ISP unilaterally declaring the state as no longer substantially similar would be even better. Many non-residents will have standing to sue due to being unable to apply for the license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Nichols Posted April 4, 2017 at 04:59 AM Share Posted April 4, 2017 at 04:59 AM The State of Florida's opposition is now online at my website under the April 3, 2017, update. Florida did not specifically address paragraph 17 of Norman's motion: "17. This Court's reliance on the discredited work of Saul Cornell, is a directrepudiation of the U.S. Supreme Court's rulings in Heller and McDonald whichrelied on the research of Clayton Cramer, a noted Second Amendment scholar.Notably, Mr. Cornell appeared as the co-author an amicus brief in support of thenon-prevailing side in Heller."

gunuser17 Posted July 10, 2017 at 05:56 PM Share Posted July 10, 2017 at 05:56 PM Too bad the petition for cert couldn't be filed earlier. If you believe Supreme Court statistics, the summer pool is huge and the odds of cert being granted go down significantly when a petition is part of the summer pool. Hopefully, this will be granted and result in a good outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petition for writ of certiorari Florida law provides for licenses to carry handguns concealed, but prohibits carrying firearms openly. Petitioner, who had such license, was convicted of openly carrying a firearm on a public street. The majority of the Florida Supreme Court upheld the ban under intermediate scrutiny based on conjecture by counsel about why the legislature may have banned open carry. The issue is whether a prohibition on peaceably and openly carrying a lawfully-owned handgun infringes on “the right of the people to . . . bear arms” protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. That issue also involves the extent to which a restriction on a constitutional right may be upheld, under a proper standard of review, on the basis of a post hoc argument of counsel with no foundation in the legislative or factual record."

Only an extraordinary event could push it to October 2018, such as another Justice dying and leaving a 4-4 ideological split, which is why Texas v. United States was held for rehearing. 20 realists would mean they're crafting a per curiam order. That's an obscene amount of relists. That wouldn't happen in this case because of its importance, the Court would benefit from oral argument. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
