According to the Washington Post<\/a>, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit blocked Washington DC’s concealed carrying permitting system that required gun owners to prove that they have a “good reason” for needing to carry a weapon concealed in the city, you know, other than the fact that they live in a crime-ridden cesspool.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good-reason law is necessarily a total ban on most D.C. residents\u2019 right to carry a gun in the face of ordinary self-defense needs,\u201d wrote Judge Thomas B. Griffith, who was joined by Judge Stephen F. Williams.<\/p>\n

\u201cBans on the ability of most citizens to exercise an enumerated right would have to flunk any judicial test.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court\u2019s rejection of the District\u2019s permitting system is the latest legal blow for city officials who have been forced to rewrite gun-control regulations ever since the Supreme Court in 2008 used a D.C. case to declare a Second Amendment right to gun ownership. The ruling follows proposals from Republican members of Congress that would require the District to honor concealed-carry permits from other states in the wake of a June shooting at a GOP congressional baseball practice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

John R. Lott, Jr. of the Crime Prevention Research Center called the decision huge.<\/p>\n

Right now, there are about 124 concealed handgun permit holders in D.C., Lott told Fox News. \u201cIf D.C. were like the 42 right-to-carry states, they would have about 48,000 permits. Right now D.C. prevents the most vulnerable people, particularly poor blacks who live in high crime areas of D.C., from having any hope of getting a permit for protection. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
