Summary
The town attorney asked for and received council authorization to draft ordinances amending town code sections to conform with state preemption of firearms regulation; the motion passed unanimously.
The Huachuca City Council authorized the town attorney to prepare ordinances revising town code provisions related to firearms in order to align with state law on preemption.
