Gutzwiller variational method is applied to an effective two-dimensional Hubbard model to examine the recently proposed gossamer superconductor by Laughlin (LANL cond-mat/0209269). The ground state at half filled electron density is a gossamer superconductor for smaller intrasite Coulomb repulsion U and a Mott insulator for larger U. The gossamer superconducting state is similar to the resonating valence bond superconducting state, except that the chemical potential is approximately pinned at the mid of the two Hubbard bands away from the half filled.
