Something tells me that Grey Peterson and some of the CGF members may very well win their bets with those steak dinners pretty soon.

Default Does Moore v. Madigan change anything in Cal?

Ok so today's 7th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Moore v. Madigan finds (as we all already know) that the 2nd Amendment applies to the right to carry firearms in public.

“...the right to keep and bear arms, itself, extends beyond the boundary of one’s front door."

“The Second Amendment,” Judge Posner writes, “states in its entirety that ‘a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.’ The right to ‘bear’ as distinct from the right to ‘keep’ arms is unlikely to refer to the home. To speak of ‘bearing’ arms within one’s home would at all times have been an awkward usage. A right to bear arms thus implies a right to carry a loaded gun outside the home."

http://www.saf.org/viewpr-new.asp?id=415

Will this decision help us here, or will we have to wait for the case to inevitably be taken to SCOTUS?

Considering of course that the "may issue" law here is, in some counties (L.A., S.F., etc) "may issue" is "won't issue," meaning that carrying publicly is de facto banned, this decision should require a legislative change here (no, i do realize that i need oxygen and am not holding my breath).

Thoughts?

I am a law illiterate and forgive me if this question may be nieve.... but will this open up doors for us here in California? I know right now in SB county it is a long wait for your CCW permit. Maybe this will open up doors to streamline the wait.

not directly as we are in the 9th circuit here, this case was from the 7th. But it can be persuasive to the 9th as they are now reviewing the 2 carry cases here from CA.

I'm sure there will be some supplimental filings to the 9th to notify them of this decision and it's bearing on the CA cases.

Not necessarily, I think we've got the anti's pissing their pants:

"The (Illinois) legislature, in the new session, will be forced to take up a statewide carry law," said NRA lobbyist Todd Vandermyde.

The lobbyist said prior attempts to reach a middle ground with opponents will no longer be necessary because "those compromises are going out the window."

And Rep. Phelps, who has pepeatedly introduced bills:

Phelps fought unsuccessfully in the House to pass concealed weapons legislation with a long set of restrictions, but he warned opponents of his legislation may regret they had not supported it when they had a chance. Now, he said, he “can’t see us” going forward with legislation that has as many restrictions as the bill that failed.

We'll see what happens, but I'm guessing we get a pretty good carry bill.

It can be cited as authoritative precedent in the 7th District.

It can be cited as "FYI" outside the District. Meaning it doesn't control the other district, but may influence it's reasoning somewhat. And also clue other districts that if they directly contradict, they're setting the stage for a Supreme Court battle to decide who's right.

Wow.. too bad this didn't come before Kachalsky. I don't know what everyone else is reading though. I'm just finishing the Kachalsky portion and basically Posner said that you cannot have a blanket ban, but the state deciding who most needs a permit is A-OK since it limits the persons who may carry.

Seems like not enough of a split against Kachalsky or Masciandaro to force supreme court review.

ETA: kalchasky/masciandaro summary is on page 17-19. Main holding P.20-21. Dissent starts on 21. I mostly skimmed
before about 15, but it's basically heller-style historical analysis, as is the dissent.
EXACTLY. The court gave the legislature 180 days and essentially said "re-write this thing so as to pass constitutional muster" So they will, and thus will end the chapter. Once you get around the per se ban, and impose ludicrous limits and hoops to jump through, no court will second guess the regulation. You are NEVER going to see "shall issue" in Ill. or NY or CA. Period.

They also said the need for being armed in the dangerous neighborhood of Chicago is greater than the need to be armed at home. So the standard would be if you can own a gun then you can carry. Defacto shall-issue. It would be nice to see them pass a simple law since Chicago has FOID just to say if you have an FOID that you can carry. But we all know hey will most likely have a training requirement of some sort whether that includes live-fire I wouldn't know.

Don't read into it so much. The court merely compared Illinois law to some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation to make the point that the Illinois law is unacceptable by every standard imaginable. This does not mean the ruling rubber stamps may issue laws. It just says even those are less restrictive than the IL law.

I think your are correct and, as much as I detest that reality, we need to deal with it.

Wanna bet a steak? See, the problem here is that you would have bet me that no carry law would be struck, yet here we are.

The minimum constitutional standard for "bear arms" will be the ability to carry a loaded handgun most places after meeting objective licensing standards and in the manner that the legislature requires. That's the minimum and it will include Madison Ave, Manhattan, NY.

I don't believe that's true. Pro-gun forces have a majority in the Illinois legislature. They're short of the supermajority needed to override the anti-gun governor, but with this ruling, they don't need a supermajority. They don't even need to vote at all! If they simply stonewall for 6 months, IL goes constitutional carry. Let it sink in a bit. That possibility is so terrifying to the anti-gun governor and Chicago legislators that if they have any shred of sense, they will beat a path to the pro-gun legislators' doors in a frantic effort to pass anything at all short of constitutional carry to prevent the court's ruling from taking effect.

Prior to this ruling, IL anti-gun forces won the waiting game. Now we do. It's a game-changer. They now have to beg us to support something they hate in order to prevent being utterly crushed by the court. That gives us power. We can now demand other concessions, too. Perhaps they would be willing to get rid of the FOID card rather than allow constitutional carry. See? We have leverage!

So Gene, are you saying that ILL, the most anti-gun state around, is simply going to let this 180 days lapse and NOT re-write the law to allow some limited application so it passes muster? See I'm betting that a "some" carry law will not be struck. NO carry at all is constitutionally difficult, but yet, here in CA the vast majority of us will NEVER see a CCW and yet, no one is anywhere close to overturning the Sheriff's perrogative. So why wouldn't ILL simply put together a draconian policy and say good luck. Just like DOC did after Heller.

We won't see shall-issue in Illinois? The state where they were 2-3 votes shy of a super majority to pass shall-issue very recently? Where the NRA has already said they have the votes for Shall-Issue. Here's my prediction and you can take it to the Bank. Illinois goes Shall-Issue before California, New York, Massachusetts, D.C, New Jersey, and Hawaii.

The problem is you assume the anti gun forces in Chicago control the Illinois state legislature. The legislature almost got a decent shall issue bill through with the required 3/5 majority in their last attempt. Why on Earth would they put through a may issue rat's nest now when inaction after 180 days would default to constitutional carry? This ruling is only going to make the next carry bill proposal stronger, because the pro gun forces hold the cards now.

Yes, Illinois will pass a carry law before the 180 days expire. However, it will be less onerous than California's current concealed carry process. Posner as much as told the Illinois legislature that a law similar to New York's will not pass Constitutional muster. Moreover, for political reasons already discussed above, the pro-gun legislators in Illinois now have very good bargaining power when it comes to drafting the law.

As it currently stands, Illinois will have shall-issue carry before California. What a world.

IL is not the most anti-gun state. It does contain perhaps the most anti-gun metro area, but statewide, there's a pro-gun majority.

I don't think the pro-gun people in the IL legislature are pro-gun to the level of holding out for "foid card" carry*, they'll want to pass something too.
But there should be enough sensible state reps to hold out for a good shall issue bill.


* IL requires a FOID card to even own (or in stores touch) a gun, so even if the ruling goes into full effect, IL still won't be constitutional carry, you still have to get a FOID card, which all things considered is pretty easy to get, $10 + photo, they do a background check and 4-6 weeks later, you get your card and can go shopping.

Well I admit I have no idea of the make up of the ILL legislature, but given they have among the most restrictive gun laws in the country, I'll bet they are pretty anti-gun and so are most of the voting public (i.e. most of Chicago) SO assuming this, if the anti's want to keep guns out of the hands of its people (as I assume they do given the laws) they will draft a very restrictive carry law (or narrowly interpret constitutional carry and viola - you have Orange County. NO ONE gets CCW's, but we all have the chance to apply. Virtually unassailable for a constitutional standpoint and they still win b/c no one gets the guns. Just a logical argument. You may be right that the conservatives are storming the gates and may impose shall issue some day, but I'm not holding my breath.

Why does everyone assume there will be automatic constitutional carry in 180 days? They simply said the decision is stayed for 180 days before the lower district court has to deal with it. Couldn't the lower district court say. Well it's been 180 days and no new law so I will determine the constitutional minimum?

You don't seem to understand that Illinois pro-gun forces have a legislative majority. The only reason why IL isn't ALREADY shall-issue is because the anti-gun governor vetoes their bills and therefore requires a supermajority, which they don't quite have. If the anti-gun minority drafts an insulting may-issue bill in order to stave off virtual constitutional carry, the pro-gun majority will laugh in their faces.

The game has changed. Time is now on our side. They have to beg us.

It seemed pretty explicit in the final portion of the ruling that the panel was remanding the case to the district court for permanent injunction and a statement of unconstitutionality. Sure seems to me like the carry law is going to be tossed after 180 days.

Where do you get that that Illinois has the most restrictive gun laws in the country? They are probably not even top 10. You can own ARs and AKs with 30 round mags and no bullet button crap in Illinois outside of Cook County. I would much rather have the Illinois Legislature than the one here in Cali.

Not really. They were separate cases litigating the same thing but in different district courts within IL. However they were combined on appeal. Moore was an SAF funded case and Shepard was an NRA/ISRA funded case if it matters to you.
