BREAKING: Philadelphia v. Armstrong (PA state court): Commonwealth Court rules that Philadelphia's "lost and stolen" gun ordinance violates state preemption, says prosecuting the case "evidences a form of bad faith and harassment on the part of the City." pacourts.us/assets/opinion… ImageImageImageImage
"Here, the facts, procedural history, and legal background of this case establish that the City is attempting to enforce a law that it knew, or reasonably should have known, was unenforceable..." Image

Concurring, Senior Judge Leadbetter says Pennsylvania's preemption law is not "consistent with simple humanity" and "urge[s] our Supreme Court to reconsider the breadth of the Ortiz doctrine and allow for local restrictions narrowly tailored to local necessities." Image

Parsons v. Colt (NV Supreme Court, liability): Respondents’ answer to petition for rehearing

"Instead of attempting to demonstrate a flaw in this Court’s analysis, the Petition instead focuses on arguing why the holding is purportedly poor public policy." caseinfo.nvsupremecourt.us/public/caseVie…

"Instead, the severity of the Orders’ burden warrants strict scrutiny—which the Orders fail to satisfy because they are not the least restrictive means to further Appellees’ interest, especially when compared to businesses that... were allowed to remain open."
