    SAF, Gura sue DC for licenses to Carry

    Today, Alan Gura filed a case on behalf of Tom Palmer, George Lyon and Amy McVey, all District residents, and Edward Raymond, a New Hampshire resident, and SAF challening D.C.'s ban on carrying a firearm for self defense.

    www.saf.orgwww.saf.org) is the nations oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms. Founded in 1974, The Foundation has grown to more than 600,000 members and supporters and conducts many programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of gun control. SAF has previously funded successful firearms-related suits against the cities of Los Angeles; New Haven, CT; and San Francisco on behalf of American gun owners, a lawsuit against the cities suing gun makers and an amicus brief and fund for the Emerson case holding the Second Amendment as an individual right.


    Thanks to PRKArms for assisting plaintiffs in this case in acquiring Rostered firearms to use to apply for a license to carry.

        It's almost like there's a Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy to gang up on these poor anti-gun cities. Have you no conscience?

        What do you need guns for if you are going to send your children, seven hours a day, 180 days a year to government schools? What do you need the guns for at that point?-- R. C. Sproul, Jr. (unconfirmed)

          It's nice to see the attack being waged on multiple fronts.

                    This looks promising and will be interesting when more of the media outlets starts reporting on this.

                          The 2A didn't restrict firearms to home possession only and our forefathers didn't expect us to unload and lock our guns in our saddle bags or strong boxes when leaving home. This is the next issue that needs to be addressed after incorporation. Glad to see SAF going after it in DC now. I'm glad to send money to them.

                            What was the outcome of their roster? Did they scrap it or is it an ongoing case?
