City Council debates first reading of firearm permit law
The council approved first reading of a city firearm permit measure amid objections from Jerry Adams who urged removing a clause barring buyers indicted for drug offenses. The draft requires permits from the police chief, a three day waiting period, and bans for fugitives, violent felons, juveniles, and drug or alcohol dependents. The panel also approved allocating about 75000 from revenue sharing to police and fire salaries, noted a potential general fund deficit, and urged continued federal revenue sharing.
