- Stephen P Halbrook (req. 2013-01-22 at OTRS 2013012110009836 ). He is a lawyer, an author and a college professor. He sits on the board of directors of the NRA. He has testified in front of congress numerous times, recently in confirmation hearings for Eric Holder and Sonja Sotomayor. He has written numerous books, mostly focusing on the issue of gun rights overseas and the second amendment here in the US. He has argued before the supreme court numerous times, won three cases before the court, including the prinz case, which expanded gun rights. He was quoted numerous times in the heller decision, which was the supreme court case that established an individual right to gun ownership in america. This is particularly significant, because his signature idea has been that an individual right existed and he has been arguing this in his books for thirty years. His books have been tremendously important to the political right in america. He is also responsible for what is called the 'insurrectionist idea' regarding the second amendment, which is the idea that the second amendment was written to allow individuals to maintain arms in order to defend against tyranny. He has appeared on numerous television shows and radio shows as an expert commentator. The influence of his writings and ideas on the political right, the NRA and the supreme court ought to justify at least a bio page about him. His writings are already widely quoted within wikipedia.

Consults on medieval shows for the History Channel and was in National Geographic Channel's "Knights of Mayhem". While traveling from Newport News, Virginia to Charlotte, NC, after participating in the Hunt Club Farm Renaissance & Fantasy Faire as the "Black Knight", he faced $325 in fees from the airline over his overweight luggage and wore his armor onto the plane after a security guard suggested it. With only 10 minutes to make the flight from Charlotte to Denver, he ran through the airport still in said armor. He joked about disguising himself as a white knight-to see whether the perks would be better.
