Federal judge strikes down BR gun ordinance

How does the OT feel about this?

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.”

Good.
I keep a gun in my truck because it is a farm tool. I shouldn't have to take it out because I'm going have supper with a girl in BR

I don't get why this would be illegal. Pretty much creates a firearm ban since damn near every establishment sells alcohol in some form.

Real good.

Was a BS law to start with. My truck is a extension of my home.

I can see it now.
"Excuse me thugPOS while you are robbing this establishment, but I need to go get my farm tool out of the truck. Would you please wait for me?"

Is it? I thought this wasn't true

Wow. I was a damn outlaw for as long as that was on the books. This is proof there are way, WAY too many laws out there. What did they want you to do? Take the gun into the bar? Oh wait, that's illegal too.

I'm no lawyer. But I'm pretty sure it's an extension of your home and you can have a firearm concealed in it anywhere that the property owner doesn't explicitly forbid it.
Posted on 8/25/14 at 7:02 pm to Slinky
Good. That sounds like a stupid law.
Posted on 8/25/14 at 7:04 pm to Slinky
Romeo's lounge doesn't seem like a "rifle" in the car kind of place. I would have expected a more urban weapon of choice.

You have more right to have a firearm in you vehicle than that even. You can have one in your car on lsu's campus which is a "gun free" zone. Also if your employer has a "rule" that says you can't have one on work property you can still have it in your car and there is nothing they can do about it.

About the only place I know of where you can't keep one in your car are a handful of state run hospitals.

Let me tell you something, OT.
Judge Jackson is a fantastic judge. One of the smartest, fairest men I have ever known.
