Sorry.. Slow 13er here. Does this mean I can order a rifle/pistol from any FFL in the US without transferring it to a local FFL? View Quote No. The selling dealer still needs to do the 4473, NICS, etc. What it does say is that pistols are now treated like long guns when purchased - you don't have to be a resident of the state in which you purchase it. Currently you can go to a neighboring state and purchase a long gun and take it home. If you do that with a pistol, you can't take it with you - it needs to be shipped first to an FFL in the purchaser's state. |

So I can now go to Cabela's in KC and walk out with a pistol? If so, that's pretty sweet

If it isn't appealed successfully, that means we can buy hand gonnes across state lines?

No. This court has jurisdiction over the Northern District of Texas only. Courts in the first circuit (e.g. New Hampshire) are not compelled to follow this decision. Even other courts in Texas can ignore it. So if you live in Austin, this decision does nothing for you immediately. |

Now, I wouldn't try that shit if I were in St. Louis and lived in Crook County Illinois. Or be a Kalifornistinian, in Nevada or Arizona and buy a gun there. You're not bringing that shit back legally. |

That should help your case. Using historical context of firearm ownership was a great move.
I don't think the ban on 18-20 yr old buying handguns from an FFL will last forever either. However I do believe the ban on felons and mentally ill will never fall by court decisions since it is a historical ban. |

for the TL;DR crowd: FFL dealer sues because he can't transfer a handgun direct to residents of District of Columbia who can legally posses a gun in DC. "Because the Hansons could not immediately take possession, they declined to complete the transaction with Mance." So dealer lost business and sues for relief from the Federal Handgun Transfer Ban. "Accordingly, the Court DECLARES that 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(3), 18 U.S.C. § 922(b)(3), and27 C.F.R. § 478.99(a) areUNCONSTITUTIONAL, and Defendants are ENJOINED from enforcing these provisions. The Court will issue its final judgment separately." The beauty of this is that the case started in Fall of 2014 and already has findings less than 6 months later. Oh that we could only hope that the Trust cases are as fast and successful. Nolo, thanks for your work keeping us up to date on all things 2A legal. View Quote The reason it was decided so quickly is that no discovery or trial took place. The Gov't sought to have the case dismissed at the outset. Plaintiff basically said "fuck you, not only are you wrong to seek dismissal, but we (the plaintiffs) are right on the law and want judgment right now without any discovery because there is no real factual issue in dispute." Court said, "Plaintiff is correct. Plaintiff wins." |

Nice!
I am headed to Colorado for a while and will likely purchase a handgun while I am there. This is good! |

If these same lines of thought apply, it most definitely does- "items specifically protected by the Constitution can be restricted only by evidence, and not just asserted" & "the government cannot rely on speculation or conjecture to support government interest" Assertion, speculation & conjecture... That's all they've got. |

I'm kind of curious if the government will leave it alone and let it just apply to that district instead of risking an appeal loss.

I understand perfectly that all the very specific wording and references are extremely important. The summary sentence is just a useful quick thing. Not able to be referenced or used as the actual law in the case. But something so the layman does not have to read it 5 times and still not actually understand what it says. Like: Quoted:
tl;dr version. Court applied strict scrutiny to infringements upon the Second Amendment. FFL's can transfer handguns to out-of-state residents so long as they comply with the other rules (in person meeting, etc.) which apply to rifles and shotguns. |

So this has something to due with the fact that when I was a student at school in Colorado, I still had to fly back to Massachusetts to purchase a stripped lower, because I couldn't buy handguns or lowers in CO? Neat.

The important part is the Judge applied strict scrutiny. If we can get SCOTUS to accept this standard, it's game over for the gun grabbers on pretty much everything.

Since FDR's squad of ass tumors found that not engaging in commerce is, in fact, engaging in commerce, it only seems reasonable that the Plaintiff has standing. In fact, I'd argue that any of us would have standing in any case with even a tangential relationship to commerce, even if we're not engaged in that commerce, due to the fact that our non-engagement is de facto egagement. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you live in a ban state that dictates which handguns you can/can't buy, this looks like a solution to that problem - provided you're willing to do a bit of travel.

Not sure about an import ban in CA - you just can't have a FFL transfer one to you. People are still allowed to own off roster guns and PPT them. I received an off-roster handgun via SSE when it was possible. When moving into the state with guns/etc you file paperwork to register them, but you don't have to surrender off roster handguns. |
