re: #365 Uncle Obdicut

And there may, at one point, be a supreme court decision that reverses that. Staking all your hopes on a supreme court decision is not a good long-term strategy. Supreme Court decisions are powerful and lasting, but they’re not forever. In a way, the argument that self-defense is the standing right is a declaration the 2nd amendment is irrelevant to the question, that instead the right to self-defense with a gun is presumed on general rights.

Well that’s also true of Roe V Wade, but we get to act on it as law right? Our opinions that take it into account are that much more solid accordingly.
“All my hopes” overstates my meaning. For the foreseeable future, we have the ruling to base policy on. The weight of existing law matters. California laws may loosen or tighten. until they actually do, I’m going to shape my writings on the matter accordingly.

The original and (IMHO) entirely justified SYG is at home, on your property, and at your business. Remarkably, they (SCOTUS decisions) do not apply in public areas. Those rulings stand today and date back to the 1800’s
