West Virginia Citizens Defense League To Sue WV Towns Over Local Gun Control Ordinances
Towns Include Sue Charleston, South Charleston, Dunbar, And Martinsburg WV.
West Virginia –-(Ammoland.com)- Tomorrow morning, WVCDL will be filing two important lawsuits to challenge several local gun control ordinances that violate a combination of federal constitutional, federal statutory, state constitutional, and state statutory provisions.
In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, WVCDL and several individual WVCDL members will be suing the City of Charleston, Mayor Danny Jones, and Police chief Brent Webster to overturn Charleston’s complete prohibition on carrying a weapon on any city-owned property and a host of restrictions on handgun sales that include a 72-hour waiting period, a one handgun per month purchase limit, and registration.
As part of this case, WVCDL and several individual WVCDL members will be suing the cities of South Charleston and Dunbar and their respective mayors and police chiefs to overturn their respective prohibitions on carrying a weapon in city-owned buildings and parks.
In WVCDL’s second case, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, WVCDL will be suing the City of Martinsburg and its mayor, city manager, and police chief to overturn Martinsburg’s prohibition on carrying a weapon in any city-owned building.
Once each of these cases are filed, WVCDL will make the complaints in each case available on WVCDL’s web site early tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, we will post another article update that includes greater detail about each case and the press coverage these cases receive.
