The nation's gun debate is a hot topic once again. Defense attorney, Chet Pleban, is here to explain how the mass shooting in Orlando could persuade future decisions made on gun rights cases. Last week a federal appeals court ruled, 7-4, that there is no Second Amendment protection for concealed weapons, and that states are allowed to prohibit or restrict you from carrying a concealed firearm. |

The only thing that should persuade court decisions is the Constitution of the United States.
Courts are not political Petri dishes. They are to be impartial, and apply ONLY the Constitution. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
