Kudos to Alan Gura for filing a lawsuit this week seeking to enforce our right to carry concealed. The liberal-leaning Washington Post sought to bury the story (running it in the Metro section on a Saturday - two full days after the suit was filed), but even so, this case is likely to garner great attention.
According to the article in today's Washington Post (click here for the story), the District must respond to the suit by August 26.
In that Post article, the District's Attorney General Peter Nickles is quoted saying, "The last place you want to conceal is in the District, with all of these federal buildings."
I'm not certain I understand what Nickles is trying to say. Is he paranoid about something having to do with federal buildings?
I guess my response is, "General Nickles, the last place I want to be prevented from concealing is near my home, in the District, with all my family. The inability to carry when I walk my family several blocks to a restaurant, park, or baseball game leaves me as a law-abiding citizen in a defenseless position."
