A federal judge sitting in the Southern District of Illinois was recently confronted with a question about the constitutionality of a new Illinois law banning AR-15's. I agree that I'm stretching the rules here about something other than "open carry," but with Washington's new and similar law, the anti's are trying their best to outlaw ALL guns, which would certainly eviscerate the need to protect open carry. Here's the link to his order.
It is very well thought out and gets to the point (note his avoidance of referring to AR-15s as "assault rifles").
I haven't heard, so I don't know, if SAF is challenging the new WA law that apes the substance of the Illinois law.

The complete opposite of the ruling in the Northern District.
Amy Coney Barrett is going to Bit@h slap two female federal judges in northern Dist, of Ill. on their gun rulings.
A hearing before Barrett is to take place Monday for the district judges to explain themselves as to why they defied the supreme courts ruling in Heller and Bruen.
