Mayor Gregory J. Heep banned firearms on all city property, because of the shooting at a Pulltown Center festival last year that left three people injured.
“We can’t wait for another incident, another innocent victim. We need to act, and we call on the Legislature to pass common-sense guns laws,” Mayor Heeps said.
The order does not require city council approval, but there will be a public hearing tonight at 6 p.m. held at City Hall for comment on this controversial issue.
“We will mount a legal challenge,” said Bertrand Birch, 43, owner of a gun shop in north Pulltown. "It also opens the door to tyranny and squashes liberty."
