Do you think that Michigan's registration requirements regarding residents of other states would hold? I concede that it probably would but would like to see someone successfully challenge the registration law. Not allowing non-residents the right to protect their hotel room or rented cabin with a handgun unless they have a permission slip from their home state flies in the face of decency. I hope the whole registration law is eventually deemed unconstitutional and hope that we can scrap the whole thing.
I believe that we will see further lawsuits along the lines of Equal Protection Under The Law. It is my hope that such a legal challenge would result in an opinion favorable for the FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF SELF-PROTECTION in the scenarios listed above, which was strongly re-asserted under McDonald.
It would have made life easier if McDonald would have been incorporated under P or I provisions. I did especially like Thomas' Concurrence (56 pages) that was made under P or I provisions. The fact that neither the MAJORITY NOR THE MINORITY in McDonald attempted to negate/attack Thomas' Concurrence speaks VOLUMES to what may occur in future cases.
