A hopeful Boosie Badazz attempted to have his San Diego gun case dismissed by arguing that it was unconstitutional, but a judge denied his request.

As previously reported, the Louisiana rapper was arrested outside a courthouse after allegedly being spotted on Instagram Live with a firearm. Being caught with a gun in San Diego is bad enough but being caught as a convicted felon is even worse. After being released, Boosie moved to have the case dismissed citing the Supreme Court’s landmark Bruen decision that says it’s unconstitutional to prohibit a convicted felon from possessing a gun.

According to the San Diego Tribune, Boosie isn’t the first person to present the argument in San Diego courts and the Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen has given hope to felons facing gun charges.

Unfortunately, Judge Cathy Bencivengo denied his order for dismissal.

“Nothing in Mr. Hatch’s motion persuades this Court that these holdings are incorrect or that the Court otherwise has the right to disregard binding Ninth Circuit precedent here,” District Judge Cathy Bencivengo wrote in her order denying the musician’s motion.

Boosie’s attorney Meghan Blanco still maintains that the rapper is innocent. The case will likely head to trial.
