Mayor Gregory J. Heep banned firearms on all property owned by the city of Pulltown today.
“The city’s parks, community centers and events are safer without guns," Heep said in a press release. " We can’t wait for another incident, another innocent victim. We need to act, and we call on the Legislature to pass common-sense guns laws.”
The executive order prohibits firearms on all property owned by the city of Pulltown, including parks and community centers. Violation of this order results in a series of fines escalading in amount upon number of offense. This ordinance is in reaction to a incident last year where three people were injured in a shooting at Pulltown Center's Northwest Wheatberry festival.
Although some people are in full support of this new ordinance others feel strongly towards their right to bear arms.
“I have the right to protect myself, whether it’s at home or in public.” said Keri Calender, 29 a resident of West Pulltown.
