BELLEVUE, WA – The North Carolina Supreme Court today accepted an amicus brief from the Second Amendment Foundation in a case that challenges the ability of a county ordinance to completely prohibit the construction and operation of shooting ranges, thus preventing the exercise of protected Second Amendment activities inside the county.
The case, Byrd v. Franklin County, revolves around the county’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The state Court of Appeals has interpreted the UDO to “prohibit entirely” the development of shooting ranges in the county. SAF’s amicus curiae brief challenges that interpretation on Second Amendment grounds.
“This is an important issue to the foundation,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “because we had to sue the City of Chicago to overturn their law prohibiting the operation of shooting ranges inside the city limits, while requiring training at a range facility in order to obtain a city handgun permit.
“We believe this judicial interpretation creates an impermissible infringement on the Second Amendment rights of Franklin County residents,” he added. Read more
