The Second Amendment
Join Bill Harwood and Margaret Groban for a Lunch & Learn event on the second amendment.
This presentation will discuss the legal landscape surrounding the Second Amendment and how that landscape has recently changed dramatically since the issuance of seminal Supreme Court cases.
