Two gun show operators who want to hold shows at the Alameda County fairgrounds in Pleasanton were dealt a setback by a federal appeals court in San Francisco today.

A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the county's ban on gun shows at the fair does not appear to violate the constitutional Second Amendment right to bear arms.

The court ruled in a long-running lawsuit originally filed in 1999 by gun show promoters Russell and Sallie Nordyke.

The county ban on bringing firearms onto county property was enacted in response to a 1998 shooting at the fair in which eight people were injured.

1. Conveniently left this part out.

"The ordinance does not prohibit gun shows, but merely declines to host them on government premises," the court said.


So it's really no big deal.
