Greenville Parks Ordinance<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Media Reports Suggest that <\/strong>Greenville City Council <\/strong>Will Reconsider Illegal Parks Ban… <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crime has decreased in our great state everywhere that concealed carry was made legal 18 years ago.\u00a0 Unfortunately, that predictable improvement did not extend to areas like parks that remained off-limits to lawful self-defense.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Greenville Mayor Pat Dunn was an active member of NYC Mayor Bloomberg’s anti-gun organization, MAIG.\u00a0 One of her final acts was implementation of an over-reaching, anti-HB 650 gun ban in parks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dunn’s ban was so over-the-top it twisted the definition of “dog park” into “playground” ensuring that only defenseless dog-owners can run their pets off-leash in Greenville.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dunn’s misguided ordinance will cost the City thousands of tax dollars to implement, will force Greenville to defend a host of clearly illegal laws, in addition to creating liability for assaults that may occur where effective defense has been unlawfully prevented.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

WITN reports that the Greenville City Council is reconsidering these misguided laws over a weekend retreat: http:\/\/www.witn.com\/home\/headlines\/137744963.html?storySection=comments<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Election of a new Mayor, Allen M. Thomas, as well as new City Council members brings hope that pro-freedom thinking may take hold within Greenville.\u00a0 Let’s send this promising new Leadership our gun-owning, pro-self-defense, pro-personal responsibility vote of confidence!<\/span><\/p>\n
