Hello, all. New member here. Not big on open carrying personally, but I wholeheartedly support anyone who does as I am a strong proponent of the removal of all infringements of the Second Amendment.
Been browsing on here lately following some links from DefensiveCarry.com and decided to jump in.
I've been following the repeal of Raymore's ban on open carry and am wondering if there is any plan to follow up with similar action in Belton.
Currently, here's what Belton's City Code states:
Sec. 15-116. Possession.
No person shall have in his possession except within his own domicile, or carry or use, a revolver or pistol of any description, shotgun, or rifle which may be used for the explosion of cartridges, or any air gun, "B-B" gun, gas-operated gun, or spring gun, or any instrument, toy or weapon commonly known as a "peashooter," "sling shot," or "beany," or any bow made for the purpose of throwing or projecting missiles of any kind by any means whatsoever, whether such instrument is called by any name set forth above or by any other name.
(a) Exception for licensed and other specific premises. The prohibition of this section shall not apply to licensed shooting galleries or in private grounds or premises under circumstances when such instrument can be fired, discharged or operated in such a manner as not to endanger persons or property, and also in such a manner as to prevent the projectile from traversing any grounds or space outside the limits of such gallery grounds, or residence; and further provided that nothing herein contained shall prohibit the carrying of any type of gun whatsoever when unloaded and properly cased, to or from any range or gallery or to and from any area where hunting is allowed by law.
(b) Exception for authorized officials. The prohibition of this section shall not be construed to forbid United States marshals, sheriffs, constables and their deputies, and any regular, special or ex officio police officer, or any other law enforcement officer from carrying or wearing, while on duty, such weapons as shall be necessary in the proper discharge of their duties.
(Ord. No. 67-308, § 6.9, 8-31-67)
