I still expect them to make him go through the application process. They might be able to issue the permit the day they receive the application and should. The background investigation still likely has to take place.
When "they" say they can issue in the same day, I put that in the same category as "they can carry long guns for self defense". One of the guys in my company (former state trooper) went to the AG's office and the MSP to get one of those emergency permits. He was accompanied by a DOJ staffer that was encouraging that he do this. The DOJ had uncovered during a mob investigation that there was a fresh price on his head for his believed involvement in the prosecution of a big-time mobster whom we all know of. MD said no dice (I guess no G&S). Later that day, he ended up getting sworn in as a US Marshall just so he could carry in self defense.
Special cases for a special few. However I do believe that Mr. Woollard might get the benefit of some special treatment and should.
They have had that opportunity all along, simply by lawfully interpreting g&s. Instead, they have chosen to support thier political masters at the expense thier ultimate employer.
It is not the duty of the MSP to interpret the law,
Isn't that what they have been doing? I recall during one of the legislative sessions one of the MSP reps stating "We know it when we see it" but when asked for a definition of G/S they couldn't offer one. (or maybe it was just their way of refusing to offer a definition...you know...politics and all)

In that case they really had no choice because "good and substantial reason" was not defined in the law.
If I knew how to PM I would have PM'd you on this....I just LOVE that graphic! Care to share where to get it?Review board is entirely made up of the governors appointees. Elections matter.

Not business days...90 days. Doesn't make a difference at this point in time, but it will later on.
Here's the actual letter for referral
That's the gist of it. Lack of clear documented direction vis-a-vi the law itself leaves it open to interpretation. Someone, at some point, said "self defense" is not sufficient. Someone, at some point, said "carry large amounts of cash" is sufficient.
To the legal guys:
When the court gets a response, does each individual justice read it, do they a clerk read it and provide cliff notes, do they all get together and have it read to them by a clerk? What's the process?
Once they have the info, by whatever means, do they then get together and discuss it to come to an agreement or do they each make up their minds individually and then come together for a "vote"?
How does this stage of the process work?
TIA
Well that seems odd to me. Why wouldn't the judges all be in the same place (unless you mean same office/conference room)? Aren't they all based in the same courthouse? So unless someone's on vacation wouldn't they all be together?Here, unless the panel is otherwise in the same place (unlikely), the panel may confer by phone and the senior judge in the majority will assign a judge (himself or another judge in the majority) to write the order.

Judges' chambers are not all located in Richmond, but are located in cities all over the 4th Circuit. They all have offices in Richmond where they sit for argument but they don't have argument every day or even every week. They otherwise live where they live and have chambers in that city's federal courthouse. Electronic filing makes it very easy to distribute briefs to a panel of judges, regardless of where they are.
