Monday’s Taylor v. City of Baton Rouge (M.D. La. Aug. 25, 2014) grants plaintiffs a declaratory judgment that “§ 13:95.3 unlawfully infringes upon the right of Plaintiff and other citizens to keep and bear firearms, in violation of the Second Amendment.”

Baton Rouge but it means a lot.

Sounds like the foundation for some legislative changes here in Nebraska.

It may be, but the real problem was probably the fact that they also prohibited guns in the parking lots of those establishments.  So, even if you removed your gun and stored it in your vehicle prior to entering the store, you would still have been in violation of the ordinance.

I'm not saying making hay from this isn't worth a shot; I just wouldn't put all of my eggs in that basket.  The ordinance was overly broad, and if the parking lots weren't included in the ban, there may have been a different outcome.

Lots more info and research needed to determine what this really means for people other than the plaintiffs in this case.  There was no filings or defense so the state/city completely failed to appear.  Based upon that it does not mean much, but if there was access to all the plaintiffs notes and background work that proceeded this; that could put real value to this.
