A Federal judge ruled that Washington DC must stop requiring people applying for a permit to carry a gun outside their home to have a reason to have the gun. There are more court dates before it is finally decided but in the meantime the judge is requiring the Washington DC police to issue permits without requiring that the citizen having to provide a reason to carry a gun outside his home.


"Judge Leon agreed that the Second Amendment covered the right to carry a pistol in the street as well as in the home. 'The need for self-defense is, of course, greater outside the home than it is within it,' he wrote, adding that the right of 'law-abiding responsible citizens to carry arms in public for the purpose of self-defense does indeed lie at the core of the Second Amendment."
