Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. United States v. Archer remains good law: every flagged citation has been read and no adverse treatment was confirmed. The operative published rehearing decision applied Begay to hold that carrying a concealed firearm was not a career-offender crime of violence and recognized that intervening Supreme Court authority had displaced Gilbert and Adams.
More on how this was screened

Later Eleventh Circuit opinions continued to apply Archer's concealed-firearm holding and prior-panel-precedent rule; their nearby adverse language concerned the older cases Archer itself displaced or unrelated precedents. No reviewed opinion held that Sykes, Johnson, Beckles, or a Guidelines amendment abrogated Archer.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

588 citations to United States v. Archer sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

No reviewed court has overruled or limited this case.

Every one of the 588 flagged citations was read, and each turned out to be something other than adverse treatment: a routine application, a party's argument the court rejected, or the case itself discussing older law. That reading is the finding this page exists to report.
