The City of Newport has a loaded carry ban ordinance and we need to get it added to the stickied list of cities with firearms ordinances.
I posted the info in the stickied thread but wanted to make sure it hit the top of the "active" threads for all to be informed. Here's the info:
Official city web page: http://www.thecityofnewport.net/
Page from official site that links to the municipal code (from main page under the DEPARTMENTS tab click on ADMINISTRATION then in the left side bar click on FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – The link to the muni code is in the first paragraph):
http://www.thecityofnewport.net/dept/adm/frequentlyaskedquestions.asp
This is the direct link to the PDF of the muni code:
http://www.thecityofnewport.net/dept/adm/documents/NewportMunicipalCode.pdf
The WEAPONS section is 8.20.005
