The next step on this one (assuming DC really does not appeal - I can't imagine that) is a challenge to the DC handgun and ammunition registration.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...an-on-gun-carry-rights-unconstitutional/Here's the money quote: Judge Sculin extensively referenced the Supreme Court decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) and McDonald v. Chicago (2010) to concluding �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.� The court ordered the city to now allow residents from the District and other states to carry weapon within its boundaries. Question, would this mean that any convictions, fines, gaol sentences, and criminal records be over-turned and compensated?
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Why not...if the original ban that led to such was un-constitutional?

That would make sense and DC can't/won't do that. Anyone subject to a conviction under that statute could and should appeal their conviction, but I'd not hold my breath on having it overturned.

The Court has issued a 90 day stay to allow DC to come with a set of carry laws that meet Constitutional Muster.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Or, to file an appeal.

Expect a local ordinance to prohibit concealed carry in private businesses soon.
Something they have not had to worry about prior to.
