All,
In late 2009, Tim Potter of the Wichita Eagle wrote a very positive CCL article promoting the good that the CCL has had on Kansas. I contacted him late last year and urged him to write an Open Carry article related to the changes to Wichita's unconstitutional ordinances which banned open carry in city limits. These oppressive ordinances where changed for CCL holders; thus the language appears to allow CCL holders to OC in Wichita. There seems to be controversy around intent/interpretation of the changes, including WPD and city officals. See string below (http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum24/33288.html).
I wanted to encourage our open carry supporters to contact Tim and enforce my plea for promoting an awareness of the issue and to publish an article pertaining to the city's position on this ordinance change. Once an article is published, it will provide leverage to add heat on any changes passed by statist, anti-freedom city counsel members. It will also, provide public and law enforcement awareness, to enable OC in Wichita. With the increase of conservative points of view, I believe elected officials will shy awayfrom implementing policy, which impacts free citizens' freedoms. So, I don't believe promoting clarity on the issue, will cause a change back to restrictive ordinances on OC. See Tim's contact information below and please contact him...
