PRELITIGATION DEMAND LETTER SERVED ON RICHMOND OFFICIALS
RE: REPEAL OF CITY'S MAGAZINE POSSESSION BAN
On behalf of its clients the NRA and CRPA, the law firm of Michel & Associates, P.C. sent a pre-litigation demand letter to the City of Richmond, California and Richmond City Council members on Friday, October 23 damanding that the City's ordinance banning the possession of "high capacity" magazines be repealed.
By sending the letter before filing a lawsuit, the chances of recovering attorny fees if a lawsuit has to be filed are increased.
The letter notes that the city's ban of "large-capacity" (can hold over 10 rounds) magazines is ineffective, infringes on the Second Amendment of the Constitution, and is preempted by state law.
Over the past several weeks we have been lining up plaintiffs in anticipation that the City will decline to repeal the ordinance.
We will post updates as the case progresses.
To read the letter and subsequent court filings and correspondence, please visit www.calgunlaws.com.
Thank you for your efforts on behalf of the right to keep and bear arms.
