Federal judge strikes down BR gun ordinance
A city-parish ordinance that prohibits residents from keeping firearms in their parked cars while they’re inside establishments that sell alcohol is unconstitutional and can no longer be enforced, a federal judge ruled Monday.
Chief U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson found the ordinance runs afoul of the Second Amendment.
Ernest Taylor challenged the ordinance, 13:95.3, in federal district court last September after he was pulled over in October 2012 while leaving Romeo’s Lounge because he didn’t have his headlights on. He was arrested after three rifles were found in his car. The firearms were seized by Baton Rouge police.
Taylor, who had no prior felony convictions, alleged the ordinance conflicts with a 2008 Louisiana law that permits firearms in locked vehicles in “any parking lot, parking garage, or other designated parking area.”

Was a plainly stupid ordinance in the first place.

Agreed. The judge basically said that when he pointed out the ordinance would prohibit someone with a gun in his car from getting gas at a convenience store just because the store sells beer and liquor.

How did this piece of idiotic legislation become law in the first place?

This quote from the article shows the stupidity of the gun control mindset:
Right, because the law really prevented that in the first place. Thugs were all like "Damn, I want to scope that place out and rob it, but it's against the law to have a gun in my car on the premises. Guess I won't rob it then."

At Tigerland Market on Nicholson Drive on Monday afternoon, owner Raj Parakh said the ruling could put him and other liquor store owners in more danger of someone walking into the store, checking out the layout, walking back to a vehicle, returning to the store and robbing the place.
