In all cases, the Coalition lawyers can intervene, submit amicus briefs and argue, too. If resources are thin, they can set up a brief bank providing authority for other lawyers to use in these cases.
It is the nature of appellate law to take every shot, no matter if you have only a small chance of prevailing. I think it a safe bet that Heller will appear in every appellate brief involving a restrictive gun law.
But I like the idea of the Coalition filing first, setting precedents and creating a wake for all shooting advocates to ride.
Good luck to any and all who defend the Second Amendment.
