"Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate, Rick Stanley, was released from Denver Police custody on Sunday, December 16, 2001 after being charged with violating a local gun-control ordinance. Stanley contends the law he is charged under violates his civil rights and he will be seeking a jury trial to have the ordinance declared unconstitutional. Second Amendment supporter Duncan Philp was also arrested and faces an identical charge. Stanley and Philp were arrested Saturday during a Bill of Rights rally being held in Denver's Lincoln Park, after they performed a planned act of civil disobedience by openly carrying a loaded handgun in a holster upon their hip."
