The Post caught Dick Heller, original plaintiff in the U.S. Supreme Court court case that eventually made it legal for D.C. residents to own handguns for personal security, picking up his handgun registration certificate this morning.

Dick Heller's quick to the draw with his legal filings.

Great report from Dave Weigel over at Reason's Hit and Run blog on original D.C. handgun ban plaintiff Dick Heller's return to the District's gun registration office this morning. What happened yesterday was Heller showed up to register his 1911 single-action Colt .22 revolver, but he didn't bring it with him, and the police told him to come back with the gun.

If you agree with some of the commenters in the Roundup that WUSA's account of Dick Heller's experience at the District's gun registration office this morning was a little confusing, seems like you're probably right. D.C. Wire has what appears to be a better report that Heller didn't even bring a gun with him to register this morning, but instead expressed "his frustrations with the District's continued ban on semiautomatic weapons." What's up with that weird report, WUSA?
