Court rules against gun law

I'm pretty surprised by this ruling. A Hennepin County district judge has granted a temporary injunction to two churches, the first victory for the religious groups in their quest to find that the concealed carry law is unconstitutional and a violation of religious freedom.

I'm surprised because I thought that the churches didn't have much of a leg to stand on. Sure, the law requires churches to put up a specific sign banning guns, but I didn't think that was a huge inconvenience on the part of the churches. The judge, however, disagreed. Opponents to the gun law are sure to celebrate this ruling.
