The appellants filed their reply brief on Sept. 26, 2012:
Appellants’ Reply Brief
Here, the appellants/defendants argue that a facial challenge to the law, that the law must be vague in

Then on Oct. 9, 2012, a pair of amici curiae filed briefs in support of the respondent (plaintiff). They are:
These two amici briefs rebut the appellants reply, above.
The appellants were given 30 days to respond to the amici briefs and on Nov. 13, 2012, they filed their response:

The amicus briefs at issue have been submitted by avowed gun control opponents. The briefs fail to properly analyze the relevant legal standards, cite a depublished case, and improperly attempt to expand the scope of the appeal.

This case is now fully briefed and we await further court action.
