DENVER (August 14, 2024) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced the filing of a brief with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Fort v. Grisham, its lawsuit challenging the New Mexico Governor’s total ban on carry in public parks and playgrounds. The brief can be viewed at firearmspolicy.org/grisham.
In a July 24th Order, the Court required the parties to file supplemental briefs answering three questions about the posture of the appeal. FPC’s brief explains that “after accounting for the issues the Court has raised, it remains the case that the Court should reverse the decision below and order entry of an injunction against the challenged provisions of the Governor’s order.”
“Plaintiffs have also declared that they will visit parks that are not covered by those ordinances, and regardless, the threat of prosecution under the Governor’s carry ban alone supports irreparable harm and standing,” the brief continues. “In short, the Governor’s ban harms appellants, and their harm can be redressed by a preliminary injunction.”
Oral arguments at the Tenth Circuit are scheduled to take place on September 25, 2024.
The Fort case is part of FPC’s high-impact FPC Law strategic litigation program to eliminate immoral laws and create a world of maximal liberty. FPC is joined in the litigation by one individual FPC member, the Second Amendment Foundation, and the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association.
