On March 19, 2009, the U.S. district judge issued a preliminary injunction that suspends the concealed-carry regulation for now, and the federal government has until April 20, 2009, to notify the court what it will do to bring the regulation into compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act. Background and legal documents are here.
