What’s the story?
It all started when Sacramento Black Rifle Shop, Tracy Rifle and Pistol, along with other licensed gun dealers filed a lawsuit against the state, according to the Sacramento Bee.
The lawsuit claimed the sellers had been stopped from using “truthful, non-misleading material advertising the sale of handguns at their places of business” by California Penal Code section 26820.
For example, Tracy Rifle and Pistol was cited by the state’s Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms for violating the 1923 law in September 2014.
The dealer had four large decals on its storefront’s windows. Of those, three depicted handguns and the fourth showed a rifle, all of which could be lawfully bought inside the store.
What did the lawyers say?
Brad Benbrook, one of the lawyers representing the firearms dealers, said he was pleased with the ruling.
“This is an important victory for our clients and for the First Amendment. Judge Nunley decided that the State could not justify its censorship of our clients, and we are delighted with the opinion,” Benbrook said in a statement to the Bee. “As the court explained today, the government cannot censor commercial speech in a paternalistic effort to keep citizens from making unpopular choices — or choices the government doesn’t approve — if they are told the truth.”
What did the state say?
State Attorney General Xavier Becerra’s office told the newspaper that it was reviewing Nunley’s ruling.
The state has 30 days to file an appeal.

Washington State Police Chief Vows No Enforcement of New Gun Controls

AWR HAWKINS 17 Nov 2018
Police Chief Loren Culp of Republic, Washington, says the gun controls in the newly passed Initiative 1639 will not be enforced in his county.
On September 25, 2018, Breitbart News reported that I-1639 would put in place enhanced background checks for the purchase of semiautomatic rifles, would place a ten-day wait on completion of a semiautomatic rifle sale, and would require purchasers to pass a gun safety course. The initiative also contained new gun storage laws for every type of firearm, including penalties for gun owners whose guns were stolen and used in crimes, among other things.
Chief Culp reacted to the passage of I-1639 by reminding Republic residents that the Second Amendment will reign supreme under his leadership:
In an interview with KXLY, Culp added, “We took an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the State of Washington, and [I-1639] completely flies in the face of both the U.S. and state constitution.”
Culp said he believes I-1639 will “eventually … be overturned in the courts.” Until then, he made clear, the controls of the initiative will not be enforced in Republic, Washington.
