Georgia Carry has issued a lengthy email update. In short, a man pardoned for his 1960s drug conviction with a full restoration of firearms rights was denied a transfer this year (even though they approved one two years ago). The NICS people then called the Forsyth County Probate Judge and ordered the judge to revoke the man's Georgia firearms license, which is really going out of their way. In addition, when he appealed the NICS decision, they told him he was ineligible to even possess a gun under federal law.
The preliminary injunction was to keep the man from being prosecuted during the pendency of the federal lawsuit.
Here is the link to the court pleadings (Complaint, motion for preliminary injunction, and motion for summary judgment).
Suffice it to say that the federal government was going way out of its way to disarm Mr. Haney, but he stood up for his rights, hired two top notch lawyers, and the federal government completely caved in and conceded its case before the hearing even started yesterday.
