The District of Columbia still wants to delay the process as long as possible and put up as many bureaucratic roadblocks as possible the Heller decision notwithstanding. The end result is that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/blog\/guns\/2012\/feb\/8\/miller-emily-got-her-gun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as of today Emily Miller is officially a gun owner<\/a> as she picked up her Sig P229 pistol and took it home. She is also now a gun rights activist.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Now, this series is far from over. As I&#8217;ve found, the hurdles placed before gun owners do not end here. I need to figure out the laws on getting ammunition and transporting the gun to a state that allows practice shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, I intend to keep pushing the Council of the District of Columbia to rewrite the its laws to make them fair and constitutional for law-abiding Americans.<\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Emily has already testified before the DC City Council about her experience in obtaining her gun permit and her Sig P229. I fully expect that she will keep pushing the DC City Council to bring their gun laws in line with the rest of America.<\/p>\n<p>There is an old saying that says politicians shouldn&#8217;t pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the ton. This is exactly what DC just did as Emily is a senior editor at the Washington Times and I think that they will rue the day that they made it difficult for her to defend herself.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emily Miller just wanted a gun for protection at home.
