OT - Heller (DC Gun Ban) Finally Gets Permit...
A .22 revolver???? All that hassle for a .22 revolver??? I guess it's a start...
Tom
Man whose lawsuit scuttled DC gun ban gets permit
The man whose lawsuit overturned Washington's handgun ban has successfully registered his revolver, ending a more than 30-year wait to keep the weapon in his home.
Dick Heller walked out of D.C. police headquarters Monday, clutching a yellow firearms registration certificate stamped "approved." He gave the thumbs-up sign, grinned and said, "Victory!"
Heller was among the first people to seek a gun permit under new rules adopted after the Supreme Court struck down the city's 32-year-old handgun ban in June. Heller was the plaintiff in that case.
He won approval to keep a .22-caliber revolver at home after coming to police headquarters in July to be fingerprinted and take a firearms proficiency test. Police approved the weapon after completing a background check.

Only to the NRA. It's an absolutely hollow, pyrrhic victory. He should have demanded no less than his service automatic... the one the Gooberment Geebs call a "machine gun".don Tomás wrote:A .22 revolver???? All that hassle for a .22 revolver??? I guess it's a start...
Pathetic capitulation if you ask me.

I think Heller is far from done with DC. He NEEDED to get approved to prove that the rejection was not against HIM, but against his semi (his initial app was denied). Now he can go forward and say "they approved ME for possession, now WTF is the deal with semis....."

Yep, DC's continued ban on semis is laughable, especially in view of their issue sidearm to the police... which happens to be a defensive weapon, not offensive to any but the most jaded anti-.....adirondakjack wrote:I think Heller is far from done with DC.

Agreed. I just hope all these lawsuits are costing the city government BIG TIME!!!adirondakjack wrote:I think Heller is far from done with DC.

Re: OT - Heller (DC Gun Ban) Finally Gets Permit...
From what I understand the lawsuit to fight for semi-auto's is in the works, if not already filed. Also wasn't there some action within Congress to change DC law to keep the mayor from continuing to obstruct the rights of the citizenry?adirondakjack wrote:I think Heller is far from done with DC.

Unless it results in the immediate termination of all Elected Officials & senior PD Staff the only people it will "cost" will be the Taxpayers.Ysabel Kid wrote:Agreed.

According to my NRA pubs, the NRA has suits filed against San Francisco, Chicago and DC again -
