Hey everyone. This is my first thread on this awesome site.
I live in a state with very reasonable gun laws (shall-issue) and have a CCW permit. I'm going to be moving to Washington, DC fairly soon. As you know, they've got the most restrictive gun and weapon laws in the nation. Effectively, you're not allowed to protect yourself against criminals who know you're unarmed and easy pray.
I've been doing my research, though, and trying to remain hopeful that their laws will become less draconian in the future. I know Heller was a landmark case, and it finally allows DC residents to own guns and keep them in their homes. Carry is still illegal, but I ran across this case, Palmer v. DC. http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/index.php/Palmer_v._District_of_Columbia
Does anyone know the current status of the case? Or, for that matter, any other cases making their way through the courts? I'm really hoping that DC (and other restrictive jurisdictions) will allow some form of concealed carry soon.
