Washington, DC handgun ban struck down as unconstitutional

Attorney Alan Gura writes on his blog Saturday:

Justice never sleeps…. not even on a Saturday afternoon, when this opinion was just handed down.

In light of Heller, McDonald, and their progeny, there is no longer any basis on which this Court can conclude that the District of Columbia’s total ban on the public carrying of ready-to-use handguns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny. Therefore, the Court finds that the District of Columbia’s complete ban on the carrying of handguns in public is unconstitutional.

Amazing how this didn't happen at a Target, Chipotle, Sonic, or other place where law isn't decided, eh Bloomberg? http://t.co/pnLA7QmWW6
