Council notes Mr. Pruitt's ordinance on prohibited firearm possession; details to appear later in meeting
Summary
Council members noted an ordinance attributed to Mr. Pruitt addressing persons prohibited by state law from possessing firearms; the item was placed at the end of old business and no details or vote were recorded.
Council members indicated that an ordinance attributed to Mr. Pruitt addressing possession or ownership of firearms by certain persons under state law will appear later in the meeting under old business. The item was not discussed in detail during the recorded exchange and no ordinance number, text, or vote was provided on the record.
"It was Mister Pruitt's ordinance that was enforced in state law that prohibits certain persons from possessing or owning firearms," a councilmember said when noting the item would be placed at the end of old business. The meeting record does not include the ordinance text, the specific categories of people covered, any proposed local changes to state law, or whether the city attorney had reviewed the measure.
Why this matters: ordinances that address firearms possession may have legal and enforcement implications; local enactments that reference state prohibitions can affect local enforcement procedures and interagency coordination, but the meeting record did not specify those elements.
No formal vote or public discussion of the ordinance occurred in the recorded segment. The council said the item would be considered later in the session; timing, sponsor details beyond Mr. Pruitt's name as stated in the record, and proposed language were not specified.
