Prompted by the prospect of a gun store opening in town, on April 6, 2010, the Emeryville City Council ("ECC") adopted an ordinance that, among other things, requires firearm vendors to obtain a permit from the Chief of Police and conduct a biannual inventory of all firearms possessed by the vendor, and also prohibits those between the ages of 18 and 21 years from entering a gun store where handguns are kept. The ordinance is a variation of the Legal Community Against Violence’s ("LCAV") model ordinance for firearm vendors, which was pushed in San Mateo and Oakland in the past few months.

The City passed these ill-conceived ordinances despite promises of lawsuits from the NRA and CRPA. These suits are forthcoming.
