me no savy
 

whats this about in laymans terms?

I think this case had to do with carrying a firearm within the confines of D.C. which is illegal for anyone except law enforcement (and professional thugs).

And has massive implications for gun owners throughout the land. The Second Amendment is an individual right, much like the first, fourth, and the fifth.

Apart from the District of Columbia, this ruling, if allowed to stand without being reviewed by SCOTUS, will at the very least lead to cities like Chicago and Boston to allow residents to own handguns in their homes. Chicago has specifically outlawed handguns. Boston P.D. won't issue LTC's for any reason.

This will either be allowed to stand or be sent to SCOTUS.

If SCOTUS takes this landmark case and finds for the plaintiff (who represents all law-abiding citizens of this great nation), then many anti-freedom dominoes will fall. Any law that could infringe on the RKBA could go bye-bye. Like 18 USC 922 (o). :mad: I'm getting goose bumps.
