The difference with the Frisco ban is that it contradicts state law. Because of that, it doesn't stand a prayer in court. A change in state law permitting municipalities and counties to override the state on this particular issue would validate the law and make it harder to challenge. So, strictly on technical grounds, I don't see the law standing up in court. I see it as a way to enact a larger ban on handguns throughout the state by enraging anti-gun folks that the law is overturned, when it is, and thus motivating the state to make a state-wide ban. But I don't know of a single state in the Union that would like a law that overrides state authority in favor of a municipality.
