That information would be critical to know before we jump to conclusions about why it was granted cert.

It seems unlikely the liberal SCOTUS wing would vote to grant cert to review a case that the anti-gun side won in the lower court.

Now, think about what this case will be about. Transport in NY or something about the right outside the home?
The issue in Heller was that the City required gun owners to keep their firearms unloaded and with the action disassembled and in a locked container, with ammunition to be kept in a separate room under lock and key, thus making the firearm unavailable for the core 2A right of self defense. This current case has nothing to do with self-defense per se, but with the right to "bear" arms outside the home for lawful purposes, which in particular involves leaving the City of New York with ones' firearms.

The question I have is whether FOPA is controlling over contrary state or local law--which is a big issue in NY since no one can transport firearms in one's luggage through the airports if the owner takes or has "possession" of the firearms while at the airport. FOPA should cover this as well, but the NYPD doesn't care.

Think about our destination requirements for Assault Weapons, the unloaded rifle/shotgun requirement, and the handgun locked container requirement, as a few examples.
They could also clarify that arms kept in the home must be held the highest level of review, which could have implications on more important 2A issues.

It seems to me that this case, assuming we win, is a two part win:

1. People in New York gains some transportation rights.

2. To reach that win the court needs to decide that the test the lower court decided was incorrectly reviewed and the wrong standard was applied. Then SCOTUS would, in its opinion, apply the correct standard. Either true intermediate scrutiny or strict scrutiny. The Court then has demonstrated that the proper standard for even a relatively narrow case such as this is higher than most circuits are applying currently and that even a narrow restriction such as this impacts the "core" of the 2nd Amendment. The lower courts would all be on notice going forward that they have been effectively violation the standards of review set in Heller.

That seems important to me and to have a broader impact.

The Court didn't take this case to tinker with the transportation laws, but to answer important constitutional question(s).

At the minimum, if the ban is overturned, we will get a confirmation that the 2A right extends outside the home and it forecloses completely the "in the home" misinterpretation. It will be the core case for all the pending "carry" cases.

What we can also get, if we are lucky, is something along the lines of "strict scrutiny" or a commerce clause based prohibition on certain regulations, etc.

Not likely. The case is about transportation and *outside* the home. Any effect on "in the home" will be incidental, e.g., we get scrutiny standard so it affects the "in the home" too.

It can set the standard, or it can clarify the right. (Or, hopefully, both.)

My money is on the latter. Clarifying that the right extends outside the home answers a very important constitutional question, while remaining very clean and narrow. It would be the first domino for all "carry cases."

I doubt Roberts will allow a broad response. Most likely he will only support a narrowly tailored decision. He's not known for taking hot issues lately.

Personally hoping for clarification on standard of review. If strict scrutiny is mandated for 2A cases based on the lower courts half assed review of this case, that would be a huge win. Not many regs would stand up to those beyond the "long standing" ones listed in Heller.

We have not only Scalia's replacement, but we also have Kennedy's replacement who was a dissent in the AW case at a circuit level and who we know will overturn AWBs.

Roberts will certainly go along with "2A exists outside the home like any other fundamental civil right." That's sufficient for all future carry cases...

I'm quite optimistic. The only better thing that can happen is that they also take Pena.

Which is precisely why I believe it's one of the less likely outcomes. There is a very narrow issue and ruling that would fit Roberts perfectly - "whether 2A extends outside the home." That would be a huge step forward for us, regardless of how narrow the ruling is. Strict scrutiny would be an icing on the cake...

I'll hold out hope for two reasons: 1) Roberts seems to be very concerned with the legitimacy of "his" court. Lower courts' continuous and blatant disregard for two constitutional cases (Heller and McDonald) that Roberts signed on to must chafe, at least a little bit, and certainly tarnishes his court's authority. 2) If the Supreme Court rules on level of scrutiny, they don't have to directly wade into the hot button issues of AWB, magazine capacity, licensing, etc. putting that burden (and rightly so) back on the lower courts with a "yes, we ****ing meant that the 2A is also a Constitutional right, incorporated against the states and review shall be strict scrutiny." That allows Robert's court to review the much more important egregious violations of that direction rather than every goddamn stupid gun law ever enacted that passed through appeals on deference to authority. Am I playing to his vanity? Yes. Yes, I am.

But I don't know **** from shinola. Fun to talk about, though, and I would most certainly be satisfied with carry outside of the home.

I don't get why this would get a cert to answer "whether 2A extends outside the home." when they had a clear cut chance to clear up the issue on "the level of scrutiny required" in 2A cases with the Silvester case. Certainly if a number of the judges don't want to clarify how 2A cases are to be decided, certainly they won't want to throw more confusion in the mix by saying the right extends outside the home sans guidance on how to do it.

Okay, some might argue, they could do both with the one case, however, based on Thomas's scathing dissent in Silvester v Bacerra, it doesn't seem like that is going to happen.

Perhaps because at the time there was this Justice named Kennedy?

Perhaps this has already been asked. But why is this thread in a forum which supposedly is for "Discuss California 2A related litigation and legal topics here."

??

What is the California angle?

I'm not sure why it seems less likely. For the court to rule in our favor on the underlying issue they will have to apply some level of review. It seems very likely to be a higher level than the Second applied in the underlying case.

It sure doesn't seem like it, because I spoke about the possible far reaching implications this could have, and that a narrow case like this may be vastly different than Caentano, and your response was "Caentano didn't help us", when that's clearly not what I was saying or imply.

Yep. This could be huge. The significance of the first real SCOTUS decision since 2010, with the McDonald v Chicago case, is not to be underestimated.

We will know one way or the other by June 2020 at the latest.

Yep. We are about to get a "long standing" restriction of "bearing" in a locked container separate from ammunition, to a government approved place.

Here is your "and bear".

Having trouble getting a clickable link for the source where I got this quote from... (Chuck Michel's facebook page)

Quote:
Said CRPA President and chief legal counsel Chuck Michel:

“For one, a decision is likely to clarify the appropriate legal standard of review for Second Amendment challenges. Given the Ninth Circuit’s disparaging treating of pro-2A cases in the past, clarification of that standard could effectively “reset” existing and prior legal challenges to many of California’s anti-gun laws. The Supreme Court’s decision is also likely to have a significant impact on the current lawsuits challenging California’s restrictive “may-issue” CCW policies, arbitrary restrictions on magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds, bans on so-called “assault weapons,” and more.

You can't use Caetano as a yardstick here. That case involved a combination of plaintiff and circumstance that tugged at the heart strings of the liberals on the Court. That case was granted, and a per curiam decision issued, strictly to change the outcome because the liberals didn't like it -- nothing more.

What's the incentive for the liberals on the Court here to change the outcome? The answer is that there is none, while there's plenty of reason for them to reject the case. This isn't a stun gun case, it's a firearms case. It involves the very instrument the liberals on the Court loathe most. They would ensure that the current outcome remains in place if they were in control. But they're outnumbered.

And that means that it's the conservatives on the Court that granted cert to this. What possible incentive would they (even Roberts) have to take the case only to issue such a narrow decision as you claim they will? Seriously, that would simply be a complete waste of their time.


No, the situational logic very clearly indicates that the purpose of granting cert to this case goes well beyond merely knocking down a very specific law in a very specific way.


Quote:
There are arguments on the Commerce Clause and right-to-travel, I wonder if the libs may try to wipe out the 2A argument by trying to make a unanimous ruling against NYC based on these arguments only.
The conservatives have the majority now. As such, the resulting decision almost certainly will have a substantial 2A element to it, if only because that is the most undeveloped body of law. It may also address these other angles, but the body of law surrounding those elements is much more developed, and thus the questions raised here aren't likely to be as interesting or far-reaching.

Seriously, though, I can't rightfully conclude anything else given what we know. All other possibilities either look logically foreclosed or at least lack any reasonable justification, for one reason or another.

It may also address these other angles, but the body of law surrounding those elements is much more developed, and thus the questions raised here aren't likely to be as interesting or far-reaching.

First off is this really a 2A case?

It does seem very narrow.

1. It is definitely about property rights.
2. It is definitely about the right to transport or move one's property.

But, can a state hold a person's property hostage to one city or even the state itself?

I think the fact that it is a "licensed" handgun is key here. That's regulation in effect by the state of the "privileged" type.

Can a state hold an exercise of a privilege hostage to its own state or municipalities?

Will SCOTUS treat the property and the licensing separately in their determination?

Does the state and its municipalities allow transport anywhere of "unlicensed" handguns?

To be determined...

=8-|
Does the State limit the transportation of any other item, other than firearms?

There is also the right to travel. You have the right to bear arms and you have the right to travel, but not to travel while bearing arms.

Playing to Thomas’s disfavored right. You have the right to free speech and the right to travel, but not to travel while speaking.

Maybe I am over simplifying, but that doesn’t play out logically.

Opposition piece from Slate:

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...ase-heller.amp

The antis see the potential of this case. There’s some “chicken little” sensationalism for sure, but the potential of this case extending far beyond the nuances of firearm transport rules is underscored.

We see it. They see it. The antis tried and failed to keep Kavanaugh off the bench. The reason they pushed so hard was his stern opposition to gun control.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill...me-court%3famp

“When you aim for the king, you better not miss.”

The antis missed. They will now reap what they have sown.

In my personal opinion, it will take extraordinary emotional restraint by justice Kavanaugh to not serve up a cold dish of revenge to the antis on this case. He might as well do so, they still want him investigated and impeached.

I love the hysterical headline of that Slate hit piece!

What's truly astonishing is this could either be huge or a huge nothingburger.

The real victim here is SCOTUS.

I was more asking a question on that. That was my impression, but IANAL and I seek to learn from those more knowledgeable. I read KC's post and I think that he must be correct. SCOTUS won't be wasting its time to deal with remedying one very particular legislative stupidity. They must be taking this to address something larger, and the larger issue that makes sense is to better define their thinking on the 2A. Some big questions that come to mind: does it apply outside the home? What level of scrutiny? What about the 2-step system the circuits have adopted? Those are all important and the lower courts are getting them wrong (imagine their shenanigans applied to any other right) and I wouldn't think SCOTUS is taking this case so they can avoid all those questions.

KC, please do us all a favor and watch some depressing movies, to get yourself out of any optimistic moods, because I think a successful outcome depends on KC never becoming optimistic about it.

So does this esentially remove any chance for a Pena cert to be granted?
