\"\"Shelton, CT, – April 25, 2011 \u2013 Charter Arms is proud to support a central figure in today\u2019s legal struggle to protect and defend Second Amendment rights in the United States, especially during the upcoming meetings of the National Rifle Association\u00a0 in Pittsburgh, PA,. Dick Heller, a Washington D.C. resident whose 2008 victory in the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed his right to own a firearm in the nation\u2019s capital, will be at the Charter Arms exhibition booth #4119 to meet attendees of the NRA Annual Meetings; and to display a commemorative firearm manufactured by the skilled American craftsmen of Charter Arms recognizing the historic Heller decision.<\/p>\n

For forty-seven years, Charter Arms has proudly manufactured a full line of revolvers in Shelton, CT, the heart of New England\u2019s Gun Valley. Following Heller\u2019s victory in the U.S. Supreme Court, Charter Arms president Nick Ecker commissioned a specially engraved and uniquely serial numbered version of its iconic .44 Special revolver, the .44 Bulldog<\/a>. Each Bulldog is elaborately decorated and specially packaged for discerning firearms collectors with a certificate of authenticity and an engraved knife inside a hardwood and glass display case in a limited edition production aiming to raise funds for continued legal battles in defense of Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

Charter Arms President Nick Ecker points out, \u201cHeller\u2019s victory affirmed the Second Amendment as an individual right, but the fight continues to secure real and practical protection under the Second Amendment. Now he\u2019s engaged in another court battle to overcome the District\u2019s attempts for onerous licensing requirements and restrictions on modern-designed firearms. Charter Arms supports his continuing fight with funding for the Heller Foundation<\/a> and his ally in the fight, the U.S. Bill of Rights Foundation<\/a> .\u201d<\/p>\n
