The decision might not change things all that fast. If you went to Virginia, bought a gun and took it to DC, you'd be violating federal law. If you live in DC and want to buy a gun, you need to be able to find a federally licensed gun dealer in DC. There are none right now. And DC is likely to try and use zoning and other laws to fight people seeking to open gun stores. See: http://blogs.wsj.com/law/

It should bring faster changes to places like Chicago and NYC, but that is also likely to need another decision that says the law, as decided in Heller, also applies to restrict states. Not there yet, but it's a likely development from Heller. Still someone will need to challenge the Chicago or NYC law for it to happen. NYC and Chicago however, do nto have that problem mentioned above with needing a federally licensed dealer. The states of Illinois and New York have them already.

A humurous, somewhat, effort to comply with California law, a pink "Hello Kitty" AR-15. See: http://blog.riflegear.com/archive/2007/1...s-cute-and.aspx
