The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Monday ruled that that the Second
Amendment right of gun buyers extends to protect gun retailers from
being excluded from an area.
The ruling was based on the challenge to an Alameda County,
California ordinance that stated that a gun store must be located at
least 500 feet away from any residentially-zoned district, elementary,
middle or high school, pre-school, day care center, another firearms
retailer or an establishment where liquor is sold or served.
However, according to a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) study of
all of Alameda County, there are no parcels in the county that meet the
ordinance’s mandates. The plaintiffs argued the regulation was
tantamount to an outright ban.
