Another Fed Court Rules that Exercising 2A Could Diminish Other Rights
Friday, March 24, 2017 2:02
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
A panel of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last Thursday that a police officer will not face civil penalties for shooting and killing an innocent man because he was holding a handgun when the officer knocked on his door.
The full circuit court declined to review the case, meaning the panel’s decision stands.
As Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern notes in an excellent analysis of the case, the Eleventh Circuit Court’s ruling followed a Fourth Circuit Court ruling from January that effectively held that the exercise of Second Amendment rights diminishes Fourth Amendment rights.
In other words, possessing a handgun in your own home could subject you to police actions that would not otherwise be permissible under the Fourth Amendment.
