Parker v DC sounds like an ideal case, all upstanding 
citizens, I don't think any have been charged with gun 
crimes, DC's certainly a place where armed self-defense would 
apply if there were a personal right to have guns under the 
Second Amendment.

How could you go wrong, Mr. O'Loon?

The sleeper case of the year: Bean Could Define the Second 
Amendment

http://www.saf.org/BeanCase.htm

Updated: 12/02/02

With only a few amicus briefs filed in the nation's highest 
court, the Bean case could surprise everyone and quietly 
define the Second Amendment as an individual right. SAF was 
the only one to raise this Constitutional issue, and we 
forced the federal government to admit in their response 
brief that the Second Amendment is, in fact, an individual 
right.

Our hope is that the Supreme Court will analyze the right 
Bean seeks to restore his fundamental individual right of 
gun ownership and include in their decision the fact that 
the Second Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights.

At the very least, the fate of firearm rights restoration 
will be decided nationwide. SAF, in their brief, also 
provided an easy-option for the court by citing a federal 
law overlooked by all other participants, 28 U.S.C. 1337(a) 
showing that the courts have original jurisdiction in this 
matter as ALL federal gun control laws rely on interstate 
commerce for their enactment.
