GCO submits brief in gun case
Georgia Carry has filed an amicus brief in District of Columbia v. Heller (formerly Parker v. District of Columbia), the DC gun ban case. Oral arguments will be presented next month:
As many will recall, Heller sued the District of Columbia for the right to keep a functional firearm in his home in the district. His case was dismissed by the district court, but reinstated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which found a 2nd Amendment individual right to keep and bear arms. The District of Columbia has appealed the case to the the Supreme Court. Oral argument is set for March 18, with a decision expected this summer.You can read the brief here.
[UPDATE] Here is an article from the Washington Post about Heller. It's a good read.

The GCO brief does make fascinating reading. There is a lot of history in it that I had never heard.
