Drake v. Jerejihan cert reply filed.
Posted by David Hardy · 9 April 2014 02:27 PM
This the NJ appeal involving gun permits issued upon a finding of "justifiable need," whatever that means. Scotusblog has pdfs of all the filings. The reply points out that now the Third Circuit, involved in this case, and the Ninth Circuit, which handed down Peruta, are in clear conflict.
The Court will vote on April 18 whether to take it.

Long reads, but some are interesting. fopefully this will be heard by the SCOTUS.
SCOTUS can deny cert for any reason or no reason, and they don't explain why. It could be legal, political or whatever. I'm not too optimistic myself. Still, fingers crossed.
Keeping my fingers crossed on this one. With the circuits split on such a fundamental question as to whether 2A extends to self-defense by firearm outside the home, I really can't see how SCOTUS can deny cert. Then again, I'm not a lawyer.
Oh, and the case is Drake v Jerejian. No 'h' in Jerejian.
