D.C. gives gun permit to security guard who challenged handgun ban
http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2008/08/dc-gives-gun-pe.html Dick Heller got his gun. The security guard who successfully challenged the District of Columbia's handgun ban is allowed to have a revolver inside his house now that police have finished conducting a mandatory background investigation, according to The Washington Post and Associated Press. No one has ever used my name and normal in the same sentence |

What revolver? Last time I looked, he was seeking to keep his bottomfeeding pistol at home. Has DC now given him a permit as ordered by the Supreme Court?

Now let's hope to God this guy never has an incident with his gun that will empower the anti's.....

Sounds to me like he caved and bought a revolver instead of pushing the issue with his auto-loader.

Could be. But let's look at it optimistically: He got a revolver on an interim basis while he continues to push toward his ultimate goal of getting a bottom feeder. No matter where you are on the Revolver VS Autoloader debate, ANYONE has to admit that a wheel gun is better than a golf club. ______________________________________________________________________________ Vincent: "But bacon tastes gooood, and pork tastes gooood..."

Well, it's a reasonable restriction, right?

Not if you don't own one and can't afford one. Never saw in the second amendment where it said you were limited to a certain type of "arm".

When the new rules took effect, Mr Heller was allowed to register a revolver that he owned, but not his semiauto pistol.
That denial is his basis for the current lawsuit against the DC gov't. Muley Gil John 3:16 NRA Benefactor, former USMC, WAR EAGLE!!

Was it like this one?
  I never gave anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell. |

With all due respect, I wouldn't say a guy who took his case all the way to SCOTUS "caved".  |

How could he buy a revolver? There are no dealers in DC, right?

Heller has owned a Taurus 10-shot .22LR revolver for years, which he kept at a friends house outside of the District.

That right existed prior to the formation of the new government under the Constitution and was premised on the private use of arms for activities such as hunting and self-defense, the latter being understood as resistance to either private lawlessness or the depredations of a tyrannical government." - U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, March 9, 2007 "...what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct. We affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals. It is so ordered." --Justice Antonin Gregory Scalia, 26 June 2008, DC v. Heller |

DC will be getting schooled a second time over their denial of Mr. Heller's right to own a semiautomatic handgun.
+1 for Mr. Heller. A pox and curse on the fools running DC. |
