Court denies stay in Mance v. Holder

Posted by David Hardy · 3 March 2015 09:16 AM

Story here. This is the case that struck down the GCA ban on interstate handgun sales by licensed dealers.

The government asked for a sixty-day stay so it could consider whether to appeal. We all know it's going to appeal, but the government wanted to proceed in its usual way (pondering everything, with meetings and exchange of memos and alerting 10,000 people before officially reaching the only obvious conclusion, hey, I used to be a GS-14 and know the ropes). The judge said, no way, you'll meet the deadline imposed on every other case.

But once they do appeal, I wonder if the court will stay it then? Probably, although its in effect now and there is no indication that the world is about to end... Or even that anyone outside the small community of people interested in gun legal issues noticed.

How long do they have to file an appeal?

Dear Mr Hardy,
Just discovered your web site... very informative. Thank you for your time and effort.
Question: Does the ruling in Mance vs Holder and the denial of granting a stay mean that at this time I as a FFL dealer in Colorado can sell a hand gun to a buyer/business associate from New Mexico who passes the background check?
Thank you and very best regards,
John C Davis DVM
