LA Bans Gun Sales on County Grounds
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The nation's largest gun show
suffered a potentially critical blow Tuesday when the county
Board of Supervisors gave final approval to an ordinance
banning the sale of guns and ammunition on county-owned
property.
The ordinance, approved in a 3-2 vote, will be challenged in
court by the Great Western Gun Show on numerous fronts,
including breach of contract and constitutional violations, said
Chad Seger, the show's manager.
``This ordinance is putting the Great Western as it exists today
out of business,'' Seger said.
Irvine-based Great Western also will seek a temporary
restraining order to allow shows planned for October and
December.
County supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, who sponsored the
measure, said it should hold up against any court challenges.
The county tentatively approved the ordinance Aug. 24, two
weeks after five people were wounded in a shooting rampage
at the North Valley Jewish Community Center in Granada Hills
and the related slaying of a letter carrier.
Federal authorities claim that gun shows have been the source
for weapons used in notorious Southern California shootings.
More than 100,000 people attend the four Great Western
shows each year at the fairgrounds.
