This would seem to be a good topic for discussion on this list since
there was no response on the Conlawprof list. -------- Original Message --------
I am no Second
Amendment
scholar, but this seemed interesting to me if only because I had no
idea that
my state even had such an organization. On Friday, Hollis Wayne
Fincher was
found guilty by federal jury of unlawful possession of a firearm and
failure to
register a firearm. That's a relatively common crime, but this, I
think, is a
rather unique case. Fincher claims to be a Lt. Commander in the
Arkansas
Militia, and he defended on the grounds that the U.S. government cannot
restrict his right, as a militia member, to bear arms. I've included a
few links to
the relevant websites and a blog devoted to this case, if anyone is
interested. http://www.angelfire.com/ar2/militia/ http://www.arkansasmilitia.com/ http://usvfincher.blogspot.com/ Scott ___________ Scott Dodson Assistant Professor of Law University of Waterman Hall 107 479.575.4424 (direct) 479.575.3320 (fax) Faculty Webpage: http://law.uark.edu/about_us/faculty_directory/scott_dodson SSRN Author Page: http://ssrn.com/author=670529
