Council passes first reading to repeal local concealed‑carry restriction
Summary
On first reading, the council moved to repeal section 15‑95 of the municipal code regarding carrying concealed weapons, citing recent state law changes expanding Second Amendment rights. The motion for first reading carried.
The council advanced Ordinance 9‑59 in a first reading to repeal the city’s existing section 15‑95 that regulated carrying concealed weapons. A presenter noted that the state recently passed laws expanding Second Amendment rights and that the local provision was being repealed to comply.
“Section 15 95 is about carrying concealed weapons in our current ordinance. The state recently has passed some laws expanding the 2nd Amendment rights. So, this is to be repealed,” the presenter said. Council member Schmidt moved the ordinance on first reading and Rusek seconded; the council approved the motion by voice vote.
The item was introduced as a policy change in response to state law; the transcript records no further explanation about implementation or enforcement changes on the local level during the meeting.
