Glenn Reynolds' new book
Glenn Reynold's book, An Army of Davids: How Markets and Technology Empower Ordinary People to Beat Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths, was up to #38 on Amazon for a time (even tho it won't be released for another few weeks), and has been getting excellent reviews. The theme is essentially that we're moving into an age in which freedom and entrepeneurship will have even more advantages than they do at present and in which large organizations (government and private alike) will be at increasingly weak positions.
[UPDATE: The reason I haven't mentioned the case cited in comments is I never got it. (Same reason the comments were held until I checked this morning). I get such a load of spam email and spam comments from addresses at gmail.com that I've had to block email from it, and set the blog filter so that all comments from it are held until approved. For some reason the spammers just love that email site. And to give you some idea of how serious the spam comment problem is, the filter on this site has blocked over 39,900 of them. Not counting the ones I catch by hand -- caught two this morning, one on German porn, one on online gambling.]

NOTE: Hamrick, pro se, v. President Bush, et al, DC Circuit, No. 04-5316 (January 26, 2006) remanding the case back to the U.S. District Court for DC, No. 03-2160. A Second Amendment case for NATIONAL OPEN CARRY HANDGUN IN INTRASTATE AND INTERSTATE TRAVEL.
My case has the potential to be the next landmark case of sufficient magnitude that it could overturn United States v. Miller (1939), dare I brag about the possibility!
THE EPIPHANY OF A DAVID AND GOLIATH BATTLE!
I find it strange, perhaps even a bit of eletist, that David Harby would blog about Glenn Reynolds' new book "An Army of Davids" and not blog about my "David and Goliath" fight in the federal courts for National Open Carry Handgun" after I emailed David 2 or 3 days attaching a PDF file of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit ruling in my FAVOR on Second Amendment grounds remanding my case back to the U.S. District Court/DC with Judge Reggie B. Walton presiding, the same judge that ruled in the Seegars v. Ashcroft case that the Second Amendment does not apply to the citizens of the District of Columbia!
You want to talk about a empirical evidence of "David and Goliath" battles? There are no other court cases symbolizing a David and Goliath fight than my case for National Open Carry Handgun in intrastate and interstate travel from a merchant seaman's perspective on the Second Amendment.
I WON ON APPEAL!!! AND I HAVE NO ATTORNEY REPRESENTING ME BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD ONE. I ARGUED MY CASE IN PLEADINGS.
The NRA has refused to help me with my case during this past 3 years. And they continue to refuse to help. In fact, all of their telephone receptionists have been instructed NOT TO TAKE CALLS FROM ME, DON HAMRICK!
IMAGINE THAT, the NRA refusing to get involved in the Holy Grail of Second Amendment cases: National Open Carry Handgun.
WHY? Because my case conflicts with their agenda for National Reciprocity for Concealed Carry.
Is the NRA betraying the Second Amendment and all gun owners by refusing to get involved in my case for National Open Carry Handgun?
That is something to think about.
And why hasn't David Hardy blogged about my case yet? I personally emailed him the PDF COPY of the DC Circuit's ruling with an brief backgound of my case.
I have been sending the PDF COPY of the DC Circuit's ruling to all the primary Second Amendment advocacy groups. While it may still be a bit early to get the Grape Vine cooking on this story, the fact I cannot find any discussion of my case on the Internet at this point in time makes me wonder if National Open Carry Handgun is some dirty little secret.
My case is one for empirical evidence for Glenn Reynolds book.

David,
I apologize for my presumptions. I have been operating from a state of aggravation and agitation fighting the U.S. Government in the U.S. District Court in DC. I will shortly be mailing Motions to the District Court in DC for Judge Reggie B. Walton to recuse himself and to transfer my case to Arkansas for a change of venue.
I will be emailing you the DC Circuit ruling, my redacted civil RICO Act complaint, my Appellant's brief, and my reformatted original complaint from 2002 to give you a comprehensive case history of my National Open Carry Handgun case.
I find it disgusting that Don Hamrick stoops to such low levels as to continually bombard citizens with his unwanted, unsolicited, and unwelcome emails about his case. This individual has such gall that he believes that he has the right to do as he pleases, but the citizenry in general does not have the right to be left alone and remain unbothered by his antics. I have been unable to block his unwanted emails. Don, leave me the hell alone. Wayne McLeod
