Court refuses DC request for a stay
After striking Washington DC's complete ban on firearms carrying, district judge Frederick Scullin granted the city a stay until Oct. 22 to give it time to pass new regulations. DC then requested an indefinite stay until it had appealed the ruling, and the judge has denied the request. This keeps the pressure on for DC to actually do something, rather than figuring that it might have to do something a year or two down the road. DC has filed a motion to reconsider, which will be argued October 17 (and is rarely granted) and the time to file a notice of appeal won't start until after that ruling.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post is editorializing that the City should appeal even if it passes new regulations.

Mr. Hardy;
Of course speculation as far as SCOTUS is concerned is generally fruitless, but do you suppose that this "pure" Federal case of may-issue could prove to be the vehicle for bringing the issue before the Court?
They have signed a bill allowing may issue with excessive requirements
Considering that the 'Don't Lie For The Other Guy' poster was old when I started working at Cabela's in 2010 it might be just a bit of a stretch to say the recent Brady campaign influenced them.
