Just wanted to share: in spite of firm opposition, the City Council passed a city ordinance tonight banning the sale or possession of "replica guns" on a public way, 7-2. I argued that a similar state bill (H3476) was just sent for judicial review instead of getting out of committee because it likely violates Federal law. They didn't give a shit. I am awaiting full text of the ordinance, but what I saw tonight is so incredibly vague, allows for confiscation of your property by police as they see fit, and puts in place a $50 fee to get your property back...and you only have 24 hours to do so. What this means for reenactors or those who do Cowboy Action, is anyone's guess. Or my kid across the street in the State forest with his Red Ryder. The Solicitor stated that one's LTC would cover any real firearms, but there was none of that specified in the ordinance as I read it. I asked Councilor Mercier to ask for clarification (since, you know, once the public speaks, they aren't allowed to ask any further questions) on where it states what the Solicitor was saying, but it was dismissed, as this ordinance is "about replica guns, not real ones".
They are completely lawless. I am looking into getting them all recalled, but I doubt I'll have much luck.
3 fingers of Makers 46 are calling my name...
