District of Columbia v. Heller

On June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court changed the landscape of American constitutional law when it ruled that: 
   
"The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."

Now Les Adams, author of the phenomenally successful Second Amendment Primer and The Bill of Rights Primer, brings you his definitive chronicle of Heller, presented in the popular primer style, written in plain English, easy to understand. No matter how complicated the legal issues, in its fact-filled 424 pages, Les provides a thorough explanation of every aspect of the Heller decision and how it affects you and your gun rights.
