Dick A. Heller, a security officer, tried registering a handgun to keep at home for self-defense, but was denied the right by Washington D.C. officials. Eventually, he worked his way up to the famous case, "D.C. v. Heller."
The case was a landmark for Second Amendment rights activists because it's the first time in about 70 years that the Supreme Court directly addressed the scope of the Second Amendment, concluding that it is an individual right to bear arms, which is unconnected to service in the militia.
