Franklin County to consider repeal of gun ordinance on October 16

The Franklin County Board of Supervisors is holding a public hearing on REPEALING a preempted ordinance that purports to ban guns at any music or entertainment festival in the county. That ordinance was put in place back in 1981.

The meeting is at 6 PM on October 16
Franklin County Government Complex Board Room
1255 Franklin Street, Ste. 104
Rocky Mount, VA

I expect this to go smoothly, but if anyone can go and report back to me on what transpired, that would be great.

**************

DaveH, back here,

This ordinance is invalidated by http://tinyurl.com/2nbdj5

However, VCDL works hard at getting such ordinances off the books, as they confuse the LEOs as well as the general public, have a chilling effect on the RKBA, and can create significant inconvenience for those legally carrying -- as in getting escorted out of an event, arrested, having to hire an attorney-at-law, etc.

If you are local, hope to see you there.
