Emily Miller is now trying to get a carry permit in D.C.

[actaeon277]

She needs to come to my house so I can ensure she is a "proper person". I'll take this one for the team, guys.

Too late. I already invited her to a NWI Meet & Shoot.
Since there were a thousand other comments, and she didn't respond, I'm assuming she's playing hard to get.

Actually, the British were already gone when the Bill Of Rights was written. That makes his reasoning even more asinine.

Excellent point. Rep sent.

DC Police Employee on Concealed Carry: "The Second Amendment Was Written For When The British Were Coming" - Katie Pavlich

How to get a gun carry permit in DC - DC News FOX 5 DC WTTG


Well, Emily Miller is now trying to get a carry permit.
Some of the things the police told her......

You need to prove a specific need. Rape and robbery aren't good enough.

and
a D.C. police department employee essentially argued that Second Amendment rights don't apply in D.C. because they were written "for when the British were coming."

Sounds like they're still there.

Thanks for posting that. I hadn't seen it yet

This is simply a stunt being pulled by D.C. cronies in a vain attempt to circumvent the directive they've received to issue carry permits.

In the long run, it won't work as this little stunt enacts a de facto ban on carry. The Judge will not be pleased with such tactics.

I approve of them denying the permits. It allows this to be taken to higher courts, unless they cave. I know no one wanta this settled in court, but SCOTUS has been good to us recently.

There isn't a higher court to take it to, SCOTUS has already settled this one.

Its more along the lines of foot dragging and putting up of obstacles.

First, the council puts up the obstacle of having to use an instructor certification that doesnt yet exist. They did so knowing one piece of the law is unobtainable, "you cant get there from here." .

Then to further drag things out the cops just conveniently havent gotten around to finding/certifying any of those instructors.

So the council can say "we wrote a law that is enforceable, so its not our fault." The cops who ALSO dont want the guns out there can say "we arent obstructing, we just havent certified or found any instructors yet." Both can point to the other and say the lack of traction isnt their fault. Well, at least for a little while...

You can't even own ammo in DC let alone get a permit. She may win, but I'm not holding my breath. So sad.

 

[sharpetop]

I predict she will eventually get her permit, even where few others do.
I predict this is so because of the embarrassment their chief will have when she brings the public humiliation on, rather than because it's her da*n right.

They'll drag their heels some, but someone... the mayor, the chief... or eventually a judge.... will say, "Just give it to her to shut her up!"

Sad that she even has to ask permission to exercise her right.

Blessings,
Bill

I don't believe, if or when Emily Miller gets her permit, she will shut up. She's been going after the DC establishment for a good while now. We need some prominent folks from that cesspool of city to back her.

 

[stephen87]

There isn't a higher court to take it to, SCOTUS has already settled this one.

SCOTUS has ruled that they must offer a permit. Ifit goes back to SCOTUS due to them giving it to only the "privileged" it could affect the entire country, making states like CA and NY shall issue states instead of MAY issue. Ideally, I would like to see national constitutional carry, but making every state a shall issue, I think is the first step toward that.

I was thinking that Palmer had gone to SCOTUS. I was wrong in saying that it had already been maxed out.

She's gone after city officials over parking tickets. She's claimed the police dept is violating federal breastfeeding laws and now the ACLU is looking into it. She's giving them hell.

9th circuit just ruled on San Diego may issue case being a no go (Peruta). It may weigh on this one.

She's doing her job. Which too many in the media will not recognize, because so few of them have seen one another do their job.

Well, Emily is finally (provisionally) licenced to carry her firearm in DC only 15 months after starting the application process. She is only the 15th person to get past all the restrictions that they have imposed and it took two direct threats on her life to meet the local police's "special needs" requirement.

And her post on FaceBook says she has to reapply every two years, and each time demonstrate a need.
