It has been over a month since a Federal District Court in Massachusetts took a case under submission (Davis v. Grimes) which seeks, you guessed it, Class A permits which would allow for concealed carry. Some of you may recall that the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals already tossed a case where the Plaintiff applied for a Class A concealed carry license instead of a Class B Open Carry license. The court said that since the plaintiff, Hightower, did not apply for an Open Carry license it assumed that Hightower wanted to carry concealed. A fair assumption since the lawyer in that case was the boy blunder, Alan Gura. The court said that Heller said that concealed carry was not a protected right and Hightower lost. Gura made an en banc appeal and it was denied. Gura did not file a cert petition with the US Supreme Court. Hightower v. Boston is binding prior precedent. It does not take a crystal ball to predict that the brain trust at Comm2A is going to lose.
