The Palmer v. DC suit is underway and is essentially the third part of the Heller series. It's another Alan Gura case--that guy is not only brilliant and dedicated he is BUSY. The nuts and bolts of it is since you have to have a license in DC that's identical to a carry license in every other state just to have a pistol, it should go ahead and be a carry license because that's the common practice and there's no reason for it not to be.

This case supplements Heller and if it goes high enough, it can be part of the incorporation package which will then command states with no recognized right to carry--either at all or as an insiders only, Donald Trump and mayor's bodyguards and their favorite diamond brokers, lawyers, and judges system-- for the average citizen to open up for all lawful citizens. This means all states and cities MUST have one of the following: A. Vermont/Alaska system, B. Ohio/Pennsylvania unlicensed open carry and Shall Issue concealed carry, C. Florida/Texas no open carry but Shall Issue concealed carry or D. Wisconsin's no concealed carry but open carry legal. They have to pick one, they can't do what big cities of California, all of New Jersey, New York City, all of Maryland, all of Hawaii, or Illinois are doing which is insiders only privileged carry and nobody else has a chance. Shall Issue concealed carry is, in aggregate, the law of the land, and open carry is close to it. Basically this is to make official the conclusions reached individually upon sound interpretation of the Constitution we share in common.
