Another 2A case awaiting cert vote

Whitaker v. DC, that would indirectly pose the remaining issue, permit requirements of "good character" or its equivalent (here, whether he was "suitable" to be issued a permit). Indirectly, since petitioner had a DC carry permit, and it was revoked, then reinstated (posing a big question of mootness).

I suppose all the pending petitions on 2A issues will be GVRed, granted, vacated and remanded--in other words, since NYSRPA altered the playing field, let the circuits reconsider their opinions, apply the new standards, and if anyone has a complaint, file another petition for cert.

UPDATE: Yep, I'd expect the magazine-size petition, like all the others, to get GVRed. Orders will probably come out tomorrow.
