Gay Gun Rights Group Wins Lawsuit Against Washington DC Concealed Carry Law

A group that advocates for gay Americans to carry firearms says its Tuesday victory in federal court against a restrictive concealed carry law in the nation’s capital is a twofold win for their cause. Pink Pistols leader Gwen Patton say U.S. District Judge Richard Leon handed the group not only a win with real-world effects but fantastic free publicity for its mission.

Leon issued a preliminary injunction against the city’s requirement that residents supply a specific “good reason” – generalized fear of crime doesn’t cut it – to acquire a license to carry a gun, finding that requirement is likely unconstitutional.

The judge did not stay his injunction, meaning a lower standard for reviewing license applications is in place unless either Leon or the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit presses pause as the lawsuit continues.

But so long as the injunction stands, Patton believes it could have a deterrent effect. “It’s been almost an automatic assumption that gay people won’t fight back, that they’re passive, they’re weak,” she says. “We’re putting it out there that you don’t know which of the gay people out there are armed. Don’t attack gay people because that could be a really bad decision.”
