Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Vernon Lee was convicted in municipal court for violation of an ordinance of the city of Junction City prohibiting certain use of handguns and knives. Upon his appeal to the district court the proceeding was there dismissed for the reason the municipal ordinance conflicted with state statutes and further that the state had preempted the field of weapons control. The city has appealed. The factual background of the matter is that on January 26, 1974, at 11:20 p.m. while checking a used car lot in Junction City two police officers observed defendant and another person duck behind a car on the last row of cars on the lot. The rear of the lot was not well lighted. Approaching the position where defendant was last seen, the officers discovered him and saw he had on him a hip style holster containing a .36 caliber ball and cap loaded revolver and a scabbard attached to his belt containing a knife with a blade nine and one half inches in length. Defendant was carrying a star type lug wrench in his hand. Neither defendant nor his companion was in any way associated with the used car lot and the lot was not open for business at the time. Defendant was arrested and charged with carrying deadly weapons (the knife and pistol) contrary to city ordinance.
