Federal Judge Strikes Down Massachusetts Ban on Permanent Residents Having Handguns
Of Arms and the Law has a copy of Fletcher v. Haas (D.Mass. 2012), which strikes down Massachusetts' ban on permanent resident aliens possessing handguns in their homes, or obtaining a carry permit. Wow! What a concept: "right of the people" means the same in the Second Amendment that it does elsewhere in the Bill of Rights!

Important to note that the judge applied 'strict scrutiny'. Most post-Heller cases have been applying 'intermediate scrutiny'.
