St. Francis - After a review of the issue by the city attorney, the Common Council apparently will not seek a way to allow police to write municipal tickets for open-carry gun violations.
Instead, the council on Tuesday will vote on a resolution that reaffirms restrictions in state law to open carry.
Ald. Ted Jarosh, a gun owner who supports gun owner rights, had wanted a way for police to write municipal court tickets in cases in which a person who openly carried a gun violated the law. Currently, such violations are handled by the district attorney's office, which can pursue criminal charges or tickets in circuit court.
City Attorney Michele Ford said Monday she determined that the city cannot adopt a new ordinance or use an existing ordinance to prosecute such violations in municipal court.
The resolution that the council will vote on cites state prohibitions on openly carrying a gun. Those restrictions include carrying a gun in a school zone and into any private business that prohibits firearms on their premises.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
