- The district of Columbia V.

- Dick Heller, worked as a special police officer in Washington, D.C. As part of his employment, he was allowed to carry a handgun while at work. Wanting to keep a handgun in his home after hours, he applied for a license to do so. The District of Columbia denied Heller’sapplication.
- wasn't he denied ?
- Heller sued the District of Columbia for violating his Second Amendment rights.Based on its reading, the district court found that the Second Amendment does not create an individual right to gun ownership unrelated to service in an organized militia, such as the National Guard, and dismissed Heller’s complaint. The court of appeals found that the Second Amendment does create an individual right to gun ownership and reversed the lower court’s decision. The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari.
- The issue on appeal was whether the D.C. law prohibiting the possession of handguns inthe District or usable firearms in the home violated the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.In a narrow 5-to-4 decision, the Supreme Court held that the District of Columbia’s law restricting Heller’s ability to possess a firearm and altogether prohibiting Hellerfrom keeping a handgun in his home violated his Second Amendment rights.
- so now we have the right to bear arms of course it would have to be licence
