Huge gun news from the courts yesterday

This will upset some folks:

Court Finds No Right to Conceal a Firearm

Said another way:

Court Rules There Is No Right to Carry a Concealed Weapon

 

From The New York Times  and Associated Press (AP), last evening:

 

DENVER (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that permits allowing people to carry concealed weapons are not protected by the Second Amendment.

      

The ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit was issued Friday in a case involving a Washington State resident, Gray Peterson.

      

A federal judge in 2011 tossed out Mr. Peterson’s lawsuit filed against Denver and Colorado’s Department of Public Safety. He claimed that being denied a concealed-weapons permit because he was not a Colorado resident violated his Second Amendment rights to bear firearms.

      

According to gun rights groups, Colorado is one of about two dozen states that do not honor concealed weapons permits from Washington State.

      

Colorado recognizes weapons permits issued by other states, but only for states that recognize Colorado permits. Washington State does not recognize Colorado permits.

      

The Colorado attorney general’s office was “gratified that the 10th Circuit Court has upheld Colorado state law,” a spokeswoman, Carolyn Tyler, said.

 

There will be some heads exploding in the nation today, I expect.

 

Watch for a big statement, with lots of hoopla, from the NRA and Fox "News."

 

I can hear it now, can't you?

 

"THEY'RE COMING FOR OUR GUNS!"

 

Man it gets so tiresome.
