Morning Docket: 06.01.22

* We just might be one step closer to "qualified immunity" no longer being a "license to kill." [Reason] * Florida's medical malpractice law keeps litigants in the dark. [WFLA] * Come June 12th, it'll be even easier to carry guns in Ohio. No way this will lead to more mourning mothers! [WTOL] * Philly wants to reinstate a law that requires the reporting of lost or stolen firearms within 24 hours. [Axios] * We don't do that here: The 9th Circuit rules that plaintiffs don't have to decline the option to arbitrate medical malpractice claims for federal court. [Claims Journal]
