Cal. State high court shoots down S.F. handgun ban
The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
The state Supreme Court dealt a final blow Wednesday to San Francisco’s voter-approved ban on handguns, rejecting the city’s appeal of a lower-court ruling that sharply limited the ability of localities to regulate firearms.
The court’s unanimous order was a victory for the National Rifle Association, which sued on behalf of gun owners, advocates and dealers a day after the measure passed with 58 percent of the vote in November 2005. The initiative has never taken effect . . .
The case is San Francisco vs. Fiscal, S160968.
As of this posting, the opinion was not found online.
