South Milwaukee - The Common Council is unanimously supporting an ordinance that would impose a minimum fine of $2,500 for openly carrying a gun into specified places in the city.
The maximum fine is $10,000.
The ordinance follows state law, in that it would prohibit carrying a gun into any school or public building; at any public park; on school grounds or playgrounds; on any premises that is licensed to sell alcohol; and at any business where a sign is posted prohibiting the carrying of firearms.
The ordinance would allow police to write tickets and to use the fines as a deterrent, said Police Chief Ann Wellens.
Tuesday's vote was on the first reading of the ordinance. It requires two more readings before it would take effect.
