What else will McDonald incorporate

[wildhawker]

I wonder if carpenters should be concerned...

Oh, well I guess Palmer and Sykes don't exactly address the same things either, otherwise you wouldn't need both.

They basically do address the same thing. Sykes addresses the "need" provision still used by CA and a few other states, Palmer addresses DC's "no carry" law, only used by one other state(IL).

Heller=D.C. home
McDonald=home everywhere other than D.C.
Palmer=D.C. public
Sykes=public everywhere other than D.C.

Gotta love a concise analysis!

Maloney case.

Bruised elbows aside, I can see the need for other self defense weapons.

If we didn't have to worry about the legal implications of a self defense shooting, guns would be fine because excessive use of force wouldn't be an issue.

Personally if I ever get a Cal CCW, I would want some other self defense weapon which I could use when I am being attacked, but use of a gun would be excessive force.

Yes there is pepper spray and stun guns, but I like options. Nunkchuks seem to fit the role nicely in that you can inflict alot of pain without causing serious injury.

Of course you can inflict serious injury if you want to or if you have an opps.
