Friday, July 2nd, 2010 -- 3:31 PM
The Jackson County District Attorney says he won't prosecute a range of weapon violations after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week Americans have a right to own a gun for self-defense.Gerald R. Fox says he will no longer prosecute people for carrying uncased or loaded guns in vehicles, carrying concealed weapons, carrying firearms in public buildings or taverns or carrying switchblades and butterfly knives.
Fox says the Supreme Court ruling invalidated Wisconsin's laws against those practices.
