Heller Anal.

it's an abbreviation for a word I can't spell reliably. ^


So... implication for outside DC... self defense is considered lawful activity inteh ruling, AND you can possess so what about open carry in non-open carry states? No telling yet. And Maryland's strict transportation laws? We shall have to see.

Lots of dust needs to settle. Lots of court cases to come that won't have to go to the Supreme Court. ILA will be busy beavers. A few will go to SCOTUS, though, if the Appeals courts dig in their feet.

But, it is an INDIVIDUAL right. So ruled. There is no such thing as a 'collective right'. That's the most important result, and should reach out beyond the 2nd. Plainlly, this right existed before the amendment was written, before the country was formed, and the amendment only says that government shall not infringe upon this right.

Wow, more questions are raised than answered elsewhere. The rules have changed. At least the ACLU will be on the Gunnies side, now. ~snicker~

Another big winner? All the other individual rights. The Constitution meant something in this ruling, and is not something to be ignored, even if a Judge at any level finds it inconvenient to his or her personal way of thinking. It's just one recent ruling like this. But it's something, not nothing.

Oh and today? The sky is bluer, the beer is fresher, the food is more savory, the water sweeter, the women are more beautiful, and the heart is stronger.
