Clark County (WQOW) - A recent Supreme Court ruling on the second amendment is already impacting a case in Wisconsin. An attorney wants to challenge a state gun law.
Here's the background: Daniel Rueden is a convicted felon, who's accused of trying to sell a stolen handgun in Clark County. He's charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was in court Wednesday. His attorney claims the state law that prohibits felons from having firearms for life is too broad.
WQOW was told he feels the restriction should be lifted once probation, or other sentencing guidelines, run their course. He wants a court to determine whether the law is unconstitutional.
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Americans have the right to have handguns anywhere for self-defense. That ruling opened the door to challenges against gun laws in many cities and states.
A Federal lawsuit was filed Tuesday against a new gun law in Chicago. That ordinance was passed on Friday, four days after the Supreme Court ruling. The new Chicago law prohibits gun owners from stepping outside their homes with a handgun. The people who filed the lawsuit say the new ordinance is unconstitutional.
