Joint Statement of October 18, 2004

On Friday, October 15, we attended a hearing in U. S. District Court in Washington, DC. Judge Reggie Walton reviewed documents and arguments from both our counsel, led by Joe Egan and Department of Justice attorney Jane Lyons representing ATF. After a 30 minute hearing, Judge Walton said he would review the material presented and issue a ruling next week. Future steps will depend on the outcome of that ruling.

When we have Judge Walton's ruling on this hearing, we'll pass additional information along to our members.
