District of Columbia v. Heller | [554 U.S. 570 (2008)
Hoping to reduce violent crime in the city, the Washington D.C. city counsel passed the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975, which effectively banned individual gun ownership in the District. The Act generally prohibited D.C. residents from possessing handguns, but made some exceptions for police officers and security guards. The Act also prohibited residents from keeping firearms in their homes without licenses, and required that any licensed firearm kept in the home either be unloaded and disassembled, or fitted with a trigger lock.
Dick Heller, worked as a special police officer in Washington, D.C. As part of his employment, he was allowed to carry a handgun while at work. Wanting to keep a handgun in his home after hours, he applied for a license to do so. The District of Columbia denied Heller’s application.
