Federal court forbids enforcement of DC's new "may issue" carry permits
Wrenn v. DC, opinion here. It's a preliminary injunction, blocking enforcement of that requirement until the case can be heard and ruled on in a final judgment. Still, the court concludes that plaintiffs have established the element that consists of proof they are likely to win when it does come to trial.
Hat tip to the Firearms Policy Coalition.

Prior to this injunction, it seems that only gang-bangers and other violent criminals would qualify for a DC concealed carry license.
So this means that DC is basically shall issue, as the Court just removed the discretion from the Chief. Thats just amazing...
In Rhode Island, our circa 1927 statute is nearly identical to that of DC, except that we don't have all the nonsense about the Chief making guidelines about what "proper reason" and such mean.
the noose seems to be tightening around the entire concept of 'may issue', just as I thought it would some 15 years ago.
Wow! Does this increase the chance that CCW will go to the Supremes?
