Gary, IN city lawsuit allowed to proceed

A state trial court has allowed the Gary, Indiana suit against six FFLs to proceed, over a motion to dismiss based on the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Firearms Act. It's hard to make much assessment, based on a news article, which is itself largely a Brady Campaign release, but it sounds as if the key was that the suit is against six specific dealers who were accused of straw man sales, rather than one of those against dealers, mfrs, etc., based on general claims that they're suable because criminals used guns they handled.
