Washington DC Judge 'stays' Federal Court Ruling Legalizing the Carrying of Guns :: 07/29/2014
A federal judge Tuesday put on hold the decision he issued over the weekend banning enforcement of a key law Washington, D.C. police and federal law enforcement officials use to control the possession of handguns in the nation's capital.
U.S. District Court Judge Frederick Scullin Jr. stayed his earlier ruling for 90-days after the gun rights advocates who filed the case agreed to that length of delay in order to allow the D.C. Council to try to revise the law to comply with the judge's decision. Laywers for the city had asked for a delay of 180 days to allow for an appeal and/or action by the D.C. Council. (the new ruling for the stay can be found here)
Scullin's ruling released on Saturday held one of D.C.'s main gun control laws unconstitutional and ordered that the city not arrest people for possession of guns legally registered in other jurisdictions. The decision caused concern among law enforcement officials who were faced with no clear basis to arrest someone found in the vicinity of most government buildings in possession of a handgun.
