MSSA v. Holder hearing, 7/15

Many of you are already tracking that there will be a hearing and oral argument on the U.S. Motion to Dismiss our lawsuit to validate the Montana Firearms Freedom Act, captioned MSSA v. Holder (U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder). This hearing will occur beginning at 9 AM on Thursday, July 15th, in the U.S. Courthouse at 201 East Broadway in Missoula. This is a red brick building on the south side of Broadway, the second block east of Higgins Avenue (the main north/south street through old downtown Missoula).

I am told that the courtroom has limited seating, and it is unknown if there will be overflow seating in the courthouse with closed-circuit TV (as is sometimes done with hearings). I am also told that security screening at building entrance will be much like that at commercial aircraft boarding at airports.

It should be interesting. See you there if you care to come.

FYI, just in case no overflow seating gets arranged by the feds and a bunch of interested folks end up standing on the sidewalks outside the courthouse, you might want to bring some signs having to do with the Firearms Freedom Act, the feds, or freedom in general. Even if you can’t get inside, your presence will show solidarity.
