I think the COA decision will be upheld. I don't think the Court will say the Second gives the right to own handguns, nor do I think it will impose strict scrutiny for gun restrictions, unfortunately.
I just don't think most people, or the Court, thinks the DC restriction is reasonable. It basically prohibits protecting ones own home and family. Also, I don't think there is much evidence to show that the people responsible for the violence in DC are paying much attention to this law.
