Here is a change of pace... a proposed ordinance for each household to own a gun

KTRV Fox 12--

Greenleaf Idaho -- population 860. If counsel member Steve Jett has his way, each household that can legally own a gun, will. It's called the Civil Emergencies Ordinance.
" "I think the city council is hoping it will happen and that it will be a deterrent to crime as the city and region increases in population," said Lee Belt, Greenleaf city clerk. "


The proposed ordinance is modeled after a plan similar to one that went into place in 1982 in Kennesaw, Ga., which saw a dramatic decrease in criminal activity.

"If the citizens are armed were not at a disadvantage." Said Art Bailey, owner of the Greenleaf store.

Oh, boy, something else for illegals to obtain illegally. Just what we don't need - every household with a weapon. In order to obtain my permit, I had to take a grueling class on gun safety. Wonder if they will do the same?

A few years ago there was a town in Texas that had a similar law. I don't remember the town's name, but from what I remember, it was very effective for them.
