Residents speak out on guns at farmers market
Appleton — Concerned residents sent a flurry of emails to Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna last month after two men showed up armed with assault rifles near the city's farmers market, according to a new analysis.
A few emails supported the men's Second Amendment rights, but most were from residents who threatened to stay away from future public events if firearms could be present, the Post Crescent Media reported.
"As long as there are people with guns walking around this city, my family will not be," wrote Adam Fredrick of Appleton.
The men were carrying AR-15 assault rifles legally near the market on Sept. 7. Police detained them at gunpoint and handcuffed them before eventually releasing them without tickets.
"If these idiots are this paranoid perhaps they should stay home and protect their fortress and not wander around on the streets," Mary Rutten of Appleton wrote of the men. "I do not want to live like this where people feel they have to carry guns to protect themselves at a public and/or family event."
HERE is what was left out ...
Other writers were worried about how the incident might affect the city's reputation. Some asked Hanna to figure out creative ways to keep the city safe for families without violating state law.
State law allows for gun rules to be established for special events as long as there are designated entrances or admission fees. That could leave room for a compromise, Alderwoman Sarah Garb said. She suggested charging a $1 entrance fee to the farmers market or setting up a rope line to constitute an entrance.
The emails to the mayor's office were acquired through an open records request.
