D.C. Refuses to Comply With Gun-Carry Ruling

The District of Columbia has filed an emergency appeal requesting a hearing in a case recently won by the Second Amendment Foundation that struck down the city’s “good reason” requirement for obtaining a concealed-carry permit.

By making residents and non-residents prove they have a “good reason” to carry a firearm, D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier has been able to deny 99 percent of all carry applications.

But the city’s leaders have refused to abide by the July 26 decision of a three-judge panel in Wrenn vs. District of Columbia, which ordered them to stop the unconstitutional “good reason” excuse for denying permits.

The district is seeking further delays, requesting a full-court hearing in the case.

The move was not unexpected, said Alan Gottlieb, executive vice president and founder of the Bellevue, Washington-based Second Amendment Foundation, which brought the case against the city. (Read more from “D.C. Refuses to Comply With Gun-Carry Ruling” HERE)
