I did not see an existing thread referring to the Wollard case out of Maryland.

 

Anyways, the stay regarding the validity of the Good and Substantial clause was lifted.

In the event IL gets may issue, I hope we can leverage Wollard.

That's great news! Here's to hoping the SCOTUS declines to take the case :)

Nice job to everyone who worked hard on that one.

 

Now I'm wondering if the 7th was waiting on this ruling.

Indeed ... that is very good news! Thanks for posting.

 

Miztic: It has to go through the 4th circuit court first. The Maryland district court in this case will likely have no bearing on the pending 7th circuit case.

If you get may-issue, it will be challenged in court. And at the same time, the ongoing efforts in the legislature to pass a solid shall-issue bill will continue.

 

The current court challenges to discretionary-issue type systems in other states would help greatly in the event that the 7th circuit panel is so short-sighted as to suggest discretionary issue systems don't violate the right to bear arms.

A word I can't recall ever seeing before - ineluctably.

 

I have long expected that the various may issue schemes will become de facto shall issue by court edict for various reasons. The 2A is just one of them as is basic fairness (sometimes called due process). I actually think there is a much stronger due process case than a 2A case in this kind of thing, but the courts have generally yet to see it that way. Probably because it opens up another can of worms they would just as soon see remain closed for now. Most states have a whole series of this type of arbitrary regulation in all kinds of areas outside of firearms that would be at risk.

Thanks GF, In my excitement I completely missed this was NOT a ruling from the 4th circuit, everyone on MDshooter was talking about the 4th so I got confused I guess :)

It will be nice to get maryland on board, I would like reciprocity with FL/UT or the IL permit if possible too.

Well ... we could only wish it would have come out of the 4th circuit! The Maryland AG has appealed to that court, however, and there is some talk that he might try to get the 4th circuit to stay the district court's ruling while the appeal process moves forward.

 

Here is hoping he doesn't, or hoping the 4th circuit won't consider or grant a stay. People in Maryland are suffering irreparable harm by being denied the means to defend themselves.

I just saw that news this morning. Great to hear! Now if only the 7th will rule in a similar manner!

 

It seems to me that it would force Maryland into "Shall Issue" instead of "May Issue". But the stay is so new, we'll have to see how it plays out.

 

I don't know why this isn't front page news. It's huge!

Of course the State in Wollard just asked for another stay... While they appeal. The stay was lifted but the state is not going down without a fight...

People in gov sure do love their power to dictate and decide. Its human nature. Its a shame though that in their personal lives most humans can understand they are doing something stupid, or trying to fight a losing battle. but once a state's momentum is behind something its like trying to stop the Titanic. A damn shame.

so what does this mean stay? it will stay as he ruled or something worse?

 

It means until the 4th rules on the case Maryland remains may-issue.

thank you thats what i was thinking it was. does anyone think he will rule for shall-issue? cause what i have read it looks like it or he wouldn't of rule a stay right?

How can they grant the stay! The state did a terrible job arguing their case and i was under the impression that the judge that lifted the stay had to abuse his authority in some way to get overruled like this.

 

Too bad :(

This is the Federal 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, it is most likely a three judge panel that will hear the case.

Why am I seeing "If we get may issue..." in this thread??

 

I was under the impression that may issue would be dead on arrival - as far as our pro-gun coalition was concerned.

 

What has changed that I have not been informed of??

 

I don't visit Facebook as I don't need another reason to keep me chained to this laptop. So I have not read Todd's page.

 

Can someone give me that link, please?

Getting that "sold out" feeling? You're not alone. A few connections of mine in the media are hinting that something is in the works.... something that leaves right to carry supporters in Chicago out in the cold.

Rumors are just rumors. At present we are all out in the cold and there is little prospect of that changing in the immediate future.
