What makes you say it’s gonna be settled soon? Our own case in MA was dismissed already at the district court, and there’s no telling what will happen with the case at CA1. If we lose there, which is definitely a possibility, there’s no guarantee that SCOTUS will take the case. They typically only take about 80 cases yearly on a variety of issues, 2A cases being least among them. I seriously doubt they’ll take up a handgun roster case as their next big 2A issue. If I had to guess, they’re probably going to be looking for something that would have a larger impact such as an AWB, 18-20 year old carry ban, or prohibited person case.
Also, our case doesn’t just challenge the roster. Our case also challenges the AG’s “consumer protection” regulations. I’m not sure if CA even has similar regulations, which would mean that even if one of the CA roster cases makes it to SCOTUS and they accept and rule in favor of the 2A, there’s no guarantee it would strike those regulations down as well. It’s still another way for the state to limit our handgun options arbitrarily. Case in point, Glocks actually are on the MA approved handgun roster but according to the AG they don’t comply with the consumer protection regulations so we still can’t buy them from dealers.
