A unique resource for Heller
Reader Matt Carmel has created a truly unique resource for Heller, which you can download in .zip format by clicking here. Caveat: it's a 41 Meg file, even compressed as a .zip. Require Adobe Reader to use.
What it is: a spreadsheet on the briefs and, more important, a keyword searchable Adobe file, so you can just enter a word or phrase and immediately see which briefs used it. Click on the resulting index entry and up pops the brief, right at that page.
I wish there was some procedure for filing software with the Court!
PS--here's Matt's homepage. When not creating software useful in Supreme Court cases, he is a firearms instructor and FFL in Maplewood, New Jersey. Oh, and organizes sailing cruises in New York. How's that for all-around?

It took 9/11 and Ray Nagin to get me off my duff and more actively support the SA. Yes, I did have to jump through hoops, but as a former OSHA employee, and many years of bidding and completing government contracts, I became an expert in bureaucracy. Surprizingly, there are more supporters of gun rights around here than people realize. They are just too embarrassed or intimidated to speak up. I love nothing more than leading with my advocation when asked at a dinner party "so what do you do?"
I do that at dinner parties also, especially when I want someone to go away and leave me alone.
Must be pretty miserable to be a firearms instructor and an FFL in New Jersey.
