GUN ORDINANCE UNDER CONSIDERATION<\/span><\/strong>
  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recently, a vigilant GRNC Member pointed out that Caswell County<\/strong> had \u201cfirearms prohibited\u201d signs on county buildings, even though Caswell County has no ordinance allowing for such postings. Fortunately, once the County Commissioners were informed of this fact by GRNC, they saw to it that the illegal signs were removed. <\/span><\/p>\n


At their March 16th meeting this matter was discussed by the Commissioners and a decision was made to draft a new firearms ordinance. Although it appears the Commissioners are in favor of allowing lawful concealed carry in county buildings, it seems that they may still ban legal firearms in portions of county parks.  <\/p>\n

Aside from the fact that enacting partial restrictions, restrictions based on time and activity, would be tedious and impractical, it also appears that their draft language may not fully comply with state law. <\/p>\n

Important Meeting this Monday
<\/strong>
This measure to enact a new ordinance will be voted on during the next meeting, this Monday, April 6th, at 6:30 PM<\/strong>. Although the commissioners seem to be on the right track, the new ordinance still may include a partial gun ban\u2014but it doesn\u2019t have to. <\/p>\n
