Man at Center of Gun Lawsuit Registers Revolver

A 66-year-old security guard whose lawsuit overturned the District's handgun ban is now officially authorized to keep a revolver in his Capitol Hill home.

Dick A. Heller, a security guard whose lawsuit resulted in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling favoring gun-ownership rights, was given his handgun registration certificate at D.C. police headquarters this morning. He applied for it last month, a few weeks after the June 26 court ruling, and had been waiting for police to complete a background check.

Heller recently sued the city again, alleging that the registration rules adopted by the D.C. government after the ban was overturned are too cumbersome and violate the spirit and letter of the Supreme Court decision.

A revolver in the home is better than a semi-auto stashed in a free state. I am glad Mr. Heller is now allowed to keep something for home defense other than harsh language.

As for DC that place is still constitutionally challenged. That punk Fenty needs a trip to the slammer for his contempt of court antics, and his girlfriend the incompetant asshat Police Chief Lanier should be his cellmate.

Heller registered a .22 revolver. Someone could get hurt with it.

I'm so mad at the crap going on in DC I have nothing to say, lest I get kicked off the forum for excessively foul language.

Glad to hear he own a gun. Now lets hope he can own a semi-auto soon too!

Let's hope people can carry in DC someday !

Why don't they just give him a club and a loin cloth? A$$ wipes.

C'mon. Haven't you seen the commercials, that would offend the cavemen.

Real cavemen don't actually need guns. When they get mad they just get all... well, caveman on your ass.

Too bad he couldn't keep his 7 shot, semi-automatic "machine gun."

Legislation to straighten that out has been introduced in the House with bipartisan support. Congress goes back to work on Sept. 8, so now might be a good time to share your thoughts with your Congressweasel.
