    Default Hightower Hearing in front of the First Circuit Court Of Appeals June 6, 2012

    This morning Alan Gura argued Stacey Hightower's case for declaring suitability as unconstitutional and that there is a right to carry embedded in the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.

    Please see here for more information on the case. Below those who attended will update the thread with their recollections. The court posts recordings of oral arguments on it's website and the first person to find it can post said recordings below.

    Bump for the morning. The other thread point here got locked so a little nudge to get it started. Myself, jar or whomever else who shows up at the courthouse will post here once we are out of the comms free zone.

    Tom, good luck. My chapter and I wish Alan the best.
    If you ask me, there's something hypocritical and tragic about so-called libertarians and free-thinkers demeaning others for "outing themselves." Those who do so criticize not simply the content of the differing opinion, but attempt use informal social control to curtail the very act of speaking.

    The "out yourself" poster believes in free mindedness only insofar as others agree with them. All else should be silenced by the mob. Which in the end is no belief in free mindedness at all.

    Will there be a live audio stream? I know, we're spoiled.

    The First Circuit does not stream audio or video. We're hoping to have a copy of the audio to post at some point.
