Article: Is this SCOTUS's next gun case

[usmarine0352_2005]

I hope this isn't SCOTUS's next gun case. SCOTUS's next gun case needs to confirm that the 2nd protects the right to carry guns outside the home, not another trigger lock case.

San Fransisco gun lock requirement case up for Supreme Court review

5/19/15 | by Chris Eger

This week the highest court in the land has scheduled review of a case backed by gun rights groups and 26 states challenging San Francisco’s law requiring guns to be locked up, even at home.

“The court’s repeated delays in announcing its decision about the Jackson case doesn’t necessarily signal an inclination to accept the case for review,” attorney C.D. Michel told Guns.com Monday. “However, it does indicate that at least some of the judges are considering the case very carefully.”

“Even if review is turned down, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a dissenting opinion that might give us some much-needed insight into how the court perceives the ongoing development of Second Amendment jurisprudence,” Michel said.

Meh, it will be interesting if SCOTUS takes it up just to know if they meant what they said in Heller

It'd be nicer to get a carry case first though.

I agree. The Supreme Court usually only takes a gun case every couple of years. This one seems like a waste compared to others.

SCOTUS will usually take a case if two lower courts are in conflict. This case has a lower court disagreeing with SCOTUS itself because it directly conflicts with Heller v DC. It's going to be hard for SCOTUS to let that stand.
