West Virginia gun law suit targets city controls
A pro gun lobbying group led by the West Virginia Citizens Defense League filed two federal suits in Charleston and Martinsburg challenging Charleston and South Charleston Dunbar and Martinsburg ordinances. The suits seek to overturn prohibitions on carrying firearms on city property limits on handgun purchases for a month and bans on selling to mentally ill or criminally charged individuals. The Martinsburg suit targets guns in city buildings. Attorney James Mullins calls for protecting the right to carry, while Charleston Mayor Danny Jones vows to fight. The cases cite the recent Supreme Court ruling affirming gun rights and oppose local bans deemed non essential.
