NRA’s Second Amendment Victory Upheld by Federal Court Ammo Land ^ \| Feb 25, 2013 San Diego, CA --(Ammoland.com)- Last week, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit declined the State of Illinois’ petition to rehear en banc the Court’s December 11, 2012 decision striking down as unconstitutional Illinois’ total ban on carrying firearms for self-defense outside one’s home or business. Stay tuned to www.calgunlaws.com for further analysis on analysis of the order’s potential ramifications, but you can read the order yourself here. The case is Shepard v. Madigan, and involves lead plaintiff Mary Shepard, an Illinois resident and a trained gun owner, who is licensed to carry a concealed handgun in both Utah and Florida, but prohibited from doing so under Illinois law. After Ms. Shepard and an 83-year-old co-worker were viciously attacked in the church where they worked, and beaten by a six-foot-three-inch, 245 pound man with a violent past and a criminal record, she brought suit challenging the Illinois law that prevented her from having a firearm on her that day. The National Rifle Association is funding this case, with the Illinois State Rifle and Pistol Association as a co-plaintiff. The National Rifle Association is funding Shepard, with the Illinois State Rifle and Pistol Association as a co-plaintiff. A sister case, sponsored by the Second Amendment Foundation, Moore v. Madigan, was also decided in the same opinion. Today’s ruling means that the original decision – in which the author Judge Posner stated “One doesn’t have to be a historian to realize that a right to keep and bear arms for personal self- defense in the eighteenth century could not rationally have been limited to the home. – will stand.

In a sweeping ruling, the Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that there is no Second Amendment right to carry a concealed firearm in public. The broad wording of the decision in Peterson v. Martinez creates a far-reaching national precedent against carrying a loaded handgun outside the home. The case began on a narrow point – a challenge by a Washington State man against Colorado’s law to issue CHL permits (“Concealed Handgun License”) only to state residents. But the final ruling held, “In light of our nation’s extensive practice of restricting citizens’ freedom to carry firearms in a concealed manner, we hold that this activity does not fall within the scope of the Second Amendment’s protections.” Until wingers took over the USSC, the courts have always taken a much more moderate interpretation of the second amendment. Hundreds of years of fairly consistent rulings got overturned when the wingers took over the court. Insanity leads to crazy rulings. Let's hope a precedent has been set with this ruling.
