OH-18: PR-Moll Prepares Brief for 2nd Amendment SCOTUS Case

This just in...
Columbus, OH 2/1/07 - Jeanette Moll, conservative Republican candidate for Congress in Ohio's 18th Congressional District, offered a "friend of the court" brief to legal counsel in the important Second Amendment case District of Columbia v. Heller currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The brief, which Moll prepared on her own behalf and on the behalf of similar Ohio Concealed Carry Permit holders outlines her belief in the sanctity of individual gun rights under the U.S. Constitution.

Moll submitted the brief to the legal team preparing arguments before the Supreme Court in order to cooperate and assist with their case. Moll, an attorney and former Magistrate, is credentialed to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court.

"I applaud the diligent work to protect the individual rights of American gun owners consistent with the Second Amendment." Moll said. "It's a valuable and unique opportunity to be able to share my legal views on this essential issue and, most importantly, to be a strong advocate for the empowered citizens of the 18th District who value gun rights as protected under the U.S. Constitution."

Moll further stated her clear beliefs on the Second Amendment.

"The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental God-given right. It's our duty as Americans to ensure such rights are not infringed upon," Moll said.

Moll is a life member of the National Rifle Association and an Ohio Concealed Carry Weapons permit holder. She helped organize Ducks Unlimited in Washington, D.C. and continues to enjoy the outdoors with her family.

Jeanette Moll is a practicing attorney and former Magistrate in Guernsey County. Wife and mother of two daughters and adoptive mother of three children adopted through Muskingum County Children's Services, Moll has focused much of her life on family, faith and community.
