Here come the bans. Last week it was discussion in Algonquin.
Tonight, Marengo is ready to pass a LAW.
Tonight, June 24, 2013, 7:00PM. Marengo City Hall, 132 E. Prairie St. On the agenda of the City Council meeting is "Item 7. New Business (a) An Ordinance Amending Chapter 12 and 40 Regarding Burning and Use of Weapons in the City of The [sic] Marengo Municipal Code."
But this particular law is not the one that law-abiding gun owners and those who fear Government are concerned about. What Marengo will decide tonight is whether to expand the allowable use of firearms on agricultural lands that are now a part of the City. It is something in the order of, if you can shoot on County property, you can shoot on agricultural land within the city limits of Marengo. You'll have to read the proposed ordinance to know whether this is for target shooting or only for varmint control.
However, farther down in the Agenda for tonight's meeting is ¶f "Discussion and Request for Direction Regarding Concealed Carry Law." THIS is the one we law-abiding gun owners are worried about.
The City Fathers in Marengo will decide tonight whether to look into writing new ordinances of the types that are causing panic in Highland Park, Evanston, Melrose Park, Park Forest, Berwyn, Hainesville, St. Charles, Park Ridge and West Chicago this week.
If you live in Marengo, it would be a good idea to attend this meeting and the one on July 8. Watch for that agenda and read it carefully.
