A federal lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association to challenge a San Francisco Housing Authority ban on gun possession in public housing has been settled.
The NRA sued the housing authority the day after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 26, 2008, that the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives individuals the right to possess guns.
Under the settlement, signed by U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson on Monday, the agency will no longer enforce a 2005 rule that prohibited the otherwise legal possession of guns and ammunition in public housing units.
But the settlement states that illegal possession of firearms and ammunition in the units remains strictly prohibited.
Housing Authority attorney Jim Larson said, "We thought the settlement would be in the best interests of the housing authority."
Lawyers for the NRA were not available for comment.
In addition to the NRA, plaintiffs in the lawsuit included the Washington state-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and an anonymous gay public housing resident who said he needed a gun for protection against possible hate crimes.
In its ruling last year, the U.S. Supreme Court said the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms applies to individuals and not just to state militias.

We still need a case/cases to go all the way to the SCOTUS to incorporate Heller's SA RKBA so that it applies to everyone everywhere (city, county, state), not just to DC and the feds.
Obama does not want that. What he means when he says "what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyene".

Most likely reason SF settled is they think they would lose with current SCOTUS members.

SF would have lost in any court... under CA law you can not be prohibated from keeping a loaded weapon in your place of residence/ temp res unless its done by the state( example state parks you can not bring a weapon into.)

The medical weed BS is just for stoners that don't want to get hasseled by the cops. Every once in awhile the feds raid some one. I always find it funny when they do.
I mean just look at this crap

This guy advertises every where... now tell me, is that web site about medical treatment or something else?

We both know he's just trying to out scam the other scammers, I wonder if he gets a kick back from the crack whores he publicizes at the top of the page ?
-
who needs kick backs when you can charge some one $100 for 5 mins of actual work?
-
More is better?
-
he has been around awhile and been raided twice by the feds and aduited several times by FTB and BOE
so either he is clean when it comes to drugs/ money or is really good at hiding it.

What works in Chicago wont work anywhere, even Chicago.
