Good News: Parker v. D.C. Denied En Banc Hearing

I just received an email from Robert A. Levy with the Cato Institute that the District of Columbia's request for an en banc appeal has been denied. An en banc hearing is when a larger group of judges at the appeals court level rehears a decision made by the usual three judge panel. In this case, the District of Columbia's only options are:

1. Accept the D.C. Court of Appeals decision, and strike down big chunks of their gun control law.

2. Appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
