What ends up happening, is the court gives an opinion about what the 2nd amendment right really means. A 58 page opinion is rendered and broadens and defines the meaning of what the 2nd amendment's intent was. In a victory for gun owners, the court stated that the right to bear arms is not intended for a "well armed malitia" as a group, but was intended as an individual right. The case may be taken to the Supreme Court for final decision. This appears to overturn the law banning citizens from owning a gun in Washington D. C. Some say this is a homerun for Gun enthusists everywhere. Racoon - Carryconcealed.net Law Enforcement Staff Editor 218 views
