Utah company joins Chicago gun lawsuit

PROVIDENCE, Utah, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- A Utah maker of firearms training equipment says it has joined a lawsuit against Chicago's new handgun restrictions barring gun shops and shooting ranges.

Action Target of Provo, a manufacturer of firing-range equipment, joined a number of plaintiffs in filing the lawsuit last week in U.S. District Court in Chicago, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.

In response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling nullifying Chicago's full ban on handguns, the city passed an ordinance last month allowing handguns only inside homes -- and only with training and registration.

Any prospective gun owners wanting to fulfill the training requirement would have to leave the city to do so.

In its lawsuit, Action Target calls that an unreasonable restriction. UPI
