LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has upheld the City of Los Angeles decision to force gun stores to close.

The City considers gun shops a non-essential business during the pandemic.

Several gun stores and a gun-rights group sued and requested a temporary restraining order allowing the shops to reopen.

The City Attorney says the request has been rejected by a judge.
