Interesting. I haven't read the whole thing, but doesn't it specify that dc can't prohibit non-residents from carrying? Seems like requiring a pistol to be registered, when they can't register it, would prohibit carry by a non-resident.
As far as I can tell (read the whole thing, correct me if I am wrong)
1. They CAN'T enforce a no-carry whatsoever (until they make a compliant law)
2. They CAN'T prohibit CARRY based solely on residency
3. They CAN'T prohibit registration based solely on residency (not sure on this one, but the section on the 14th seems to mean this)
4. They CAN require registration
5. They CAN require registration in order to carry (WHEN they eventually make their new law)
Also, based on the decision citing the "greatest hits" so frequently (Heller, Macdonald, Peruta, Madigan), I am also hopeful w.r.t. The registration/permit to carry being closely scrutinized w.r.t. Not running afoul of those decisions. HOWEVER, I am pretty confident DC is going to pull a Chicago on this one and I would bet good money a second lawsuit is going to be required once they actually make a law.
If I am wrong, please correct.
