CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago has received a bill of nearly $1 million for its ultimately unsuccessful effort to keep guns out of the city.

and expenses.
and expenses.
The order by U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang comes months after Chang agreed with the plaintiffs that the city's longtime ban on gun stores was unconstitutional. That ruling forced the city last month to approve an ordinance that would allow gun stores - though the ordinance dramatically limits where the stores can operate and imposes a number of requirements that are likely to trigger other legal challenges.
