Bellevue, WA -(AmmoLand.com)- The Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition today filed suit in federal district court in Georgia, in a case alleging Cherokee County and Probate Court Judge Keith Wood have violated the constitutional rights of citizens by ordering that the county would not accept applications for Weapons Carry Licenses during the coronavirus outbreak.
SAF and FPC filed the action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, on behalf of one of their members, Lisa Walters. According to the 16-page federal complaint, Walters’ husband contacted the probate court several days ago to inquire about her ability to obtain a carry license. The county informed Walters’ husband that the order to not accept license applications will remain in effect.
The case is known as Walters v. Wood. Plaintiffs are represented by attorney Adam Kraut of Sacramento, Calif.
“This is the most recent in a series of legal actions we’ve had to file around the country,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “because we’ve discovered that some officials have arbitrarily decided the COVID-19 crisis allows them to suspend the Constitutional rights of the citizens they serve. We’ve been stunned by this pattern because such actions are not permitted by the Constitution. Authorities may not, by decree or otherwise, enact or enforce a suspension or deprivation of constitutional liberties.”
FPC President Brandon Combs concurred, stating,
“The Constitution explicitly protects the fundamental human right to bear arms, especially for self-defense. Governments cannot eliminate the right of law-abiding adults to
carry handguns for self-defense in public, which is all the more pertinent in these troubled times. As the Supreme Court has already explained, the Constitution’s guarantee of the right to bear arms is especially important for self-defense in case of confrontation, and individuals must be allowed to exercise their rights outside their home.”

@Doz, And those same officials have skipped the legislative process and just gave Unconstitutional orders, too! This is a great opportunity to file cases, based upon these obviously unconstitutional orders, that will go to the S. Ct.
People in several states are demonstrating and telling the petty tyrants, “We will not comply.” County sheriffs all over the country are telling the petty tyrants “We will not enforce.” Things are beginning to go our way!
To be fair, Hannity isn’t the only one. Just one of the few (perhaps the only…) with balls enough to pin his treachery on his clothing openly.

Georgia Carry has also filed a couple of similar lawsuits. One in this same court involving Fulton County (Atlanta), and another one in the Superior Court of Hall County.
Can someone with authority explain this to the CONTROLLERS and state police of Maryland: “The Constitution explicitly protects the fundamental human right to bear arms, especially for self-defense. Governments cannot eliminate the right of law-abiding adults to
carry handguns for self-defense in public, which is all the more pertinent in these troubled times. As the Supreme Court has already explained, the Constitution’s guarantee of the right to bear arms is especially important for self-defense in case of confrontation, and individuals must be allowed to exercise their rights outside their home.”
Maryland IS STILL a “MAY (not) ISSUE” state!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They disarm the ones who most need armed self defense! Despicable! May counselor kraut devour them!
