Opinion here. Alan Gura racks up another win, a big one. Rather dramatic. It involves two joined appeals, and below one court had temporarily enjoined the DC "may issue" carrying license law, and the other court refused to do so. The DC Circuit says that it's not going to send the appeals back down to the lower court, or deal with whether a temporary injunction (based on likelihood of winning rather than giving an actual win) is proper, instead it's going to order the lower courts to jump ahead and issue a permanent injunction against the law.

Now all we need is for someone to actually place the DC chief of police and the city district attorney under arrest for continuing to enforce the carry ban irrespective of the court rulings.
