CITY ORDINANCE
IS HELD INVALID

Injunction Prevents City
From Regulating Sale
of Firearms

   Permanently restraining the city officials of Tulsa from enforcing the ordinance against the display and sale of firearms, a permanent injunction was granted in district court Saturday against the city by Judge Owen Owen on petition of J.W. Megee. R.V. Barden and others.

   In June the city commissioners passed ordinance No. 2.087 restricting the sale of revolvers, dirks, knives and billies to those who obtained a permit for such purchase from the chief of police. Dealers in this class of goods in the city obtained a temporary restraining order, and yesterday after a request from rounsel for both plaintiff and defendant for judgment on the pleading as set out in the plaintiffs petition, the court held that the ordinance is unlawful because in contradiction of the constitution of the State of Oklahoma and of the United States.
