The law that he was convicted under was declared unconstitutional so should his conviction be overturned? I don't know but I am looking forward to reading more about the case.

Gun outside the home without a permit. Real easy one because the USSC has already ruled you can't license a fundamental right that's protected by the Bill of Rights in the Federal Constitution. The case: Murdock v Penn 319 U.S. 105 (1943)...And "Bearing Arms", not in sensitive areas is a fundamental right. No NRA on that case...but they are interested in this case?...And a no win case at that...Wayne, you make too much money...Your $600,000 a year salary has warped your judgment.
