Delaware County judge temporarily halts enforcement of Columbus' gun safety law
Common Pleas Court, despite the fact that only a small portion of Columbus is in Delaware County and the vast majority of city residents live in Franklin County.David C. Tryon, director of litigation at The Buckeye Institute, released this statement Tuesday:
"I conclude that the plaintiffs are likely to prevail on their claim that the city's ordinance violates the right-to-bear-arms provision in the state constitution," Gormley wrote in his decision.Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein, who represents the city in legal matters, said the city is"considering all options" in response to the decision.
Gormley also ruled Tuesday that the Buckeye Institute's six clients can bring their case anonymously without revealing their names."Given that Columbus evidently wishes to enforce through criminal penalties its ban on high-capacity magazines, the anonymous plaintiffs' fear of prosecution under the city's new ordinance does appear to be objectively reasonable."
Bans large capacity magazines that can hold 30 or more rounds or can be converted to accept that many rounds.
