HARRISBURG — A judge is ruling that Pennsylvania’s capital city cannot enforce three gun-control ordinances.

Dauphin County Judge Andrew Dowling ruled Wednesday in a lawsuit brought against Harrisburg under a new state law designed to give gun owners and gun rights groups a better chance at dismantling illegal municipal firearms ordinances.

The ruling is a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of city ordinances prohibiting gun possession in parks, during a declared state of emergency and by minors.
