Gura: Force of Nature
I have the honor of being co-counsel with Alan Gura on a couple of cases here in California. Today we received notification of favorable outcomes in two cases in other states. One in which he played the crucial role of lead counsel (the Maryland Carry case) and another in which he appeared as amicus counsel (the Colorado Campus Carry case).
His victories are now starting to transcend great legal work and are treading into the realm of great art. Michelangelo's David and Pieta would have been enough, but the Sistine Chapel too? Or if you prefer sports analogies: He isn't just on his way to winning the Triple Crown, he looks ready to repeat Secretariat's performance in the Belmont in 1973. Not only destroying the only other good horse in the country brave enough to enter the race (Sham), but setting a track record while doing it. Or if you prefer military analogies, imagine if the 101st had not just broken out of Bastogne on their own (without Patton's help), but had gone on to crush the German counter-offensive (the Bulge) single-handedly. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are witnessing a legal force of nature that comes along only once in a generation. I am a happy witness to this man's work and I am a grateful beneficiary of his talent.

Things are going well enough now that I must implore all the "Good gun lawyers" (Alan, along with our CA guys Don (you), Jason, Chuck, Bruce...) plus some others nationwide to use care, not fly on the same planes at the same time.
I'd also hope Clarence Thomas and Nino Scalia are eating their veggies and exercising.

+1000... and I am very much looking forward to seeing Mr. Kilmer work in person at the next hearing in the Nordyke saga as well.

You beat me to it!! It's a question of time as to how long the other side's rhetoric can continue to win the day. With Gura on our team, that success will come that much sooner!

Don,
You are a humble man........not something you see often in the Legal profession. You sir are to be commended as well for your unflagging diligence, desire and passion for the 2A cause. Your work is equally instrumental in building the momentum that has become the 2A steamroller reasserting the core right that has for so long been marginalized at the hands of government functionaries. Best on your next battle in the long war.

With the Secretariat mention above, am i the only one chuckling at the idea of Alan Gura running down a muddy track with a "little person" on his shoulders?

You're not so shabby yourself, and the proof is that you and Gura are working together.

Sorry, as a lifelong Nor Cal person i just can't do this^^ OK for the Socal folks but i really think a Montana to Rice (pick your poison) would serve us up here a little better.

You shut your mouth!
I believe he has a Kings jersey on in his twitter avatar. Wonder if he's a regular at Staples. I'm gonna have to keep my eyes out.

Thank YOU Don, for all of your great work and time. It's exciting for common folks like me to watch all of the good things happening as they unwind...
As you said, this is history in the making! And Alan Gura, what can I say...just feel so fortunate he's on the team Thanks to EVEVERYONE on the "Team"...

Just wanted to add my two cents.
Alan is amicus counsel for the SAF/state organizations in Peterson v. Martinez. The fact that he is on our side makes me believe that we will win the 10th Circuit, and push it over the top. |

^ Yes, I am one of the common folk also and I appreciate what you and Alan are doing for our 2nd. amendment rights. Thank you!

Anyone here ever go shooting with Gura? I wonder what his prefered firearms are and what he owns. If i were an instructor, I'd give that guy free entry to any of my classes whenever he wanted to.
