They might not request a hearing en banc if they don't want this to go to the Supreme Court. As it stands, the opinion only applies to the District of Columbia. If the appellants (e.g., Parker, et al) end up losing they can appeal it to the Supreme Court and then the holding in that case will be law throughout the land. If it is a pro gun holding, I won't have to worry too much about this stupid assault weapons ban in Maryland, which my representative has yet to respond to my e-mail that I sent him several weeks ago. This guy works at a law firm that my father was a client of 15 years before this guy even moved to Maryland from Michigan 4 years ago. I just love the fact that we have a 34 year old from Michigan that has lived here 4 years trying to decide what is best for this state.
Now, I need something much stronger than Pepcid.
