Guns at government meetings/buildings/whatever tends to be fairly contentious. It seems the elected elites prefer to have laws surrounding them that disarm the rank and file, even if they know on some level those laws don’t actually keep them safe. For some, it’s really nothing more than a power play.
That’s often especially true at the local level. After all, there’s often very little power–at least as most people think of it–for city councilmen and women, so it becomes all the more important to flex what power there is.
However, one city council in Ohio may be heading in a very different direction.
Lebanon City Council is leaning towards allowing holders of concealed carry permits to bring their guns to council meetings, says councilwoman Wendy Monroe.
It’s a change few local governments have made in the state of Ohio.
According to records on the city’s website, the topic has only gotten as far as council work sessions. “If there is a potential victim in this situation, the number-one way for that potential victim to end the situation in their favor is for them to introduce a firearm into the equation, and suddenly they’re okay, generally, never having to pull the trigger, which is really what we want,” Monroe said.
