“…The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms…”
In District of Columbia v. Heller 554 U. S. 570 (2008) the Supreme Court ruled that a person has the right to use a legally registered firearm to defend his home within a federal enclave. This principle was further extended to apply to the states under the 14th Amendment in McDonald v. Chicago 561 U. S. 3025 (2010).
