Wow, if these kinds of things still matter this is "kind of a big deal".
Several New York City area Public Defense organizations have filed an Amicus brief in the pending case attempting to invalidate NY's prohibition on carrying guns. The brief lays out SEVERAL INSTANCES where people who defended themselves- exercised their Civil Rights, and were prosecuted for simply defending themselves. Most Public Defender organizations in my experience have been fairly liberal, for them to come out and get behind this is pretty important if you are looking at the socio/political aspects of the case.

Now, this court has shown it will only rule on very narrow grounds, so this is probably meaningless to everyone but the residents of 8 shithole states that treat their citizens like convicts, but we'll take what we can get.
