The owner of a shooting range and gun store in Flagstaff, Ariz., is challenging the advertising policy of the local airport after it censored his business’s ad, contending that the city violated the Arizona constitution.

Rob Wilson, a Navy veteran who runs Timberline Firearms and Training with his wife, applied to place a silent, ten-second video above baggage claim at Flagstaff Pulliam Airport in May to capitalize on the summer tourist season. The ad was denied because it depicted “violence or antisocial behavior,” an objection he had not faced in the past.
