OK Corral

KC Star, Dec 17
Raymore's war of words over guns intensifies

Raymore's City Council votes to allow council members to carry concealed weapons. Shades of WL Council past. The WL City Council considered an ordinance to ban concealed carry in public buildings (City Hall/Community Center) which was very much opposed by then Mayor Henderson. Despite his machinations, the Council vote 4-0 to pass the ordinance, which stands today. It speaks to what the Council can do if disposed. Class IV cities are often referred to as weak mayor forms of government. If the BOA has some gumption.

Raymore Council member Hubach posted on a community web site "the city should pass an ordinance that would ban anyone over 70 running for council". Ouch. Let me see, concealed weapons carried by council members...none of which can be over 70. Sounds like Utopia, right?
