District of Columbia. They are asking for an immediate administrative stay, a stay pending appeal, or in the alternative, a stay of 180 days.<\/p>\n<p>The Attorney General of DC and his legal team have communicated with the plaintiffs who would not oppose a 90 day stay if&nbsp; the city council would enact remedial legislation &#8211; that is, a carry law that would cover both residents and non-residents &#8211; &#8220;that complies with constitutional standards.&#8221; Alan Gura has indicated he will be filing a response by next Monday to the District&#8217;s Motion.<\/p>\n<p>In their supporting Memorandum of Points, the District points out that the 7th Circuit granted the State of Illinois a 180 day stay which they extended for another 30 days.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>In <\/i>Moore v. Madigan<i>, the Seventh Circuit found that Illinois\u2019 prohibition on the public<br \/>\ncarrying of guns, with very few exceptions, violated the Second Amendment. 702 F.2d 933. The<br \/>\nSeventh Circuit, however, ordered its mandate \u201cstayed for 180 days to allow the Illinois<br \/>\nlegislature to craft a new gun law that will impose reasonable limitations, consistent with the<br \/>\npublic safety and the Second Amendment as interpreted in this opinion, on the carrying of guns<br \/>\nin public.\u201d Id. at 942.1 This Court should do the same.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I would note that there was broad support for a concealed carry bill in Illinois by both downstate Democrats as well as Republican members of the Illinois General Assembly. Such a bill had narrowly been defeated in an earlier session on the requirement for a super-majority. No such broad support exists within the DC City Council and they are likely to make a hash of it. <\/p>\n<p>While I would like to think Judge Scullin would tell the District to go lump it, I fully expect that they will get some sort of stay. I hope I&#8217;m wrong.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a not unexpected turn of events, the District of Columbia filed a Motion for a Stay Pending Appeal&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2170],"class_list":["post-1627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-palmer-v-district-of-columbia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1627"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9950,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627\/revisions\/9950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
