SAN JOSE — A first-of-its-kind law requiring gun owners to insure their firearms is facing yet another legal challenge — this time from one of the state’s largest taxpayer organizations.

In January, San Jose became the first U.S. city to require residents to carry liability insurance for their weapons and pay a fee to help reduce gun violence in the city. But within minutes of its passage by the San Jose City Council, a lawsuit was filed in federal court by the National Association for Gun Rights and San Jose resident Mark Sikes, arguing the law is “patently unconstitutional.”
