Looks like in DC, an adult not otherwise disqualified has the right to obtain a handgun license and keep a functioning, unlocked handgun in his home.
Will presumably also invalidate handgun bans in a handful of other cities - NYC? (edit - I originally included SF, forgot that ban had already been struck down)
Unclear, so far, what impact on CCW, "assault rifle" bans, etc.
My feeling is, Heller decision means little or no change from status quo, except for residents of the few cities with total handgun bans. Even in states with restrictive gun laws, like California, I cannot think of any change that Heller will require.
