Indeed interesting, but in the article:
“This case only applies to the Fourth Circuit.”
Virginia(s), Carolina(s), Maryland
I doubt any Northeastern court (at any level) would make such strong findings in favor of the rights of homeowners…
Yahbut OTOH do they want to create a circuit split?
Article?
I just read stuff for the centerfolds.
My (Southern Baptist-raised) friend said he read Playboy for the articles.
We got him this for Christmas:
Don't recall how he explained it to his mother.
First off the court findings would never fly in MA and probably most of the New England states.
That's a quantitative judgement.
Some SJC pro-RKBA rulings
can (but
needn't) be viewed as
not so much "pro-gun" as "anti-cop".
It may just be that everyone mopes around on NES
feeling like the government's always against them.
And so we are incapable of appreciating it when courts throw us a bone.
Could a pro-2A ruling be the court's legit concerns for civil rights?
Could it be the SJC's fear of being reversed by the First Circuit/SCOTUS?
Could it just be a blind squirrel's luck?
We may project so much that we lack the perspective to divine the truth of those matters.
Historical question:
Are there any notable Mass state court rulings aprés Heller/McDonald
which show they got the Fear of God for even a fleeting moment?
