So says a Federal Court. The peace loving residents of the District of Columbia can now enjoy peace and tranquility. For they can thank Federal Judge Frederick Scullin Jr.  who wrote in his ruling in Palmer v. District of Columbia that the right to bear arms extends outside the home. So now we have it,  gun-control laws in the nation’s capital are “unconstitutional.” 

Judge Sculin extensively referenced the Supreme Court decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) and McDonald v. Chicago (2010) to concluding “there is no longer any basis on which this court can conclude that the District of Columbia’s total ban on the public carrying of ready-to-use handguns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny.”
