Public housing gun ban upheld sets national precedent
U S District Judge Richard L Williams upheld a gun ban in Richmond public housing, deeming it a valid lease term to improve safety. The ruling may guide similar measures nationwide, with officials noting Chicago already bans guns in its projects but challenge pending there. Williams allowed bans on firearms, blackjacks, explosives, and nunchucks, while excluding knives from the broad “weapons” ban.
