Argument Monday in post-McDonald case

Posted by David Hardy � 3 October 2010 10:00 AM

The case is State v. Charles Williams, pending in the Maryland Court of Appeals. I'm told Williams was charged with carrying without a permit, said permits being very difficult to get, and has raised the constitutionality of the requirement. I'd expect there will be procedural issues (e.g., an argument that he has to apply for a permit and see what happens, rather than breaking the law and raising it as a defense,

Argument will be broadcast live, here, at 10 AM EDT Thursday, October 7.

Student Produces Film Documentary on Gun Control

- Seventeen-year-old home school student Stahlie Calvin of Athens will soon receive national attention in San Antonio, Texas for a documentary she wrote, produced and directed.

Her documentary "Peaceful Betrayal," a 23-minute film on the history of gun control around the world and its effect on different populations, made the cut and has taken her into the finals of the San Antonio Christian Film Festival.

She chose the subject matter for her documentary "Peaceful Betrayal" after viewing a paper with a list of how many people had suffered because of gun control.
