Jim Carman presses for repeal of weapon ban

North Platte Neb.- North Platte City Councilman Jim Carman proposed the repeal the 1975 ordinance  at the City Council meeting August 7th. The room was packed full of citizens interested in the outcome of this topic.

By unanimous decision the issue has been tabled to be discussed in the August 21st meeting. Carman feels this law is hard to enforce as the state already has a law that addresses this issue.

Many out of town visitors and Carman himself carry an unloaded weapon on the back window of their truck, or in their vehicle.

Carman claimed that the ordinance was hard to enforce, and suggested re-wording the law. City Attorney Douglas Stack said that this is a matter best left to discussion and thinking. The Council then voted unanimously to place the city ordnance on the Augusts 21st agenda.
