San Francisco and NRA Cut A Deal on Hand Gun Ban

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

The city will delay for two months the enactment of a controversial handgun ban that voters approved last fall under an agreement with the National Rifle Association, City Attorney Dennis Herrera said today.

In return, the NRA -- the ban's principal legal opponent -- won't pursue a temporary restraining order and has approved a briefing schedule beginning in mid-February that is expected to decide the legality of the new law.

If the NRA had sought a restraining order, the move likely would have delayed further the enactment of the law while the court considered that matter.

The city of San Francisco is broadening its' negotiating skills different people.
