Proposed weapon ban facing opposition
Gun groups against City Council's plan for parks and fields.
Ashley Wiehle • News-Leader • October 9, 2008
The Springfield City Council may find itself in the crosshairs of a contentious issue if it approves a legislative wish list that seeks to ban concealed weapons from city parks and sporting fields.
Prior to state passage of a concealed carry law in 2004, guns were prohibited in parks by city ordinance. But when concealed carry permits were legalized and the list of restricted areas chosen, parks were left off -- overruling the 1971 ordinance.
The state law prohibits guns in schools, government meetings or major sports stadiums that hold 5,000 fans. But it doesn't ban them in parks.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
