Two Rivers rejects concealed carry in city buildings. (Herald-Times-Reporter, 9/6/2011)
Excerpt: The Two Rivers City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved an ordinance prohibiting concealed carry of firearms by citizens in any public buildings or city-owned vehicles.
The ordinance does not apply to peace officers, armed forces or military personnel armed in the line of duty or any person authorized by the police chief of any city, village or town, or the sheriff of any county to possess a firearm in any building.
"This ordinance is … pretty plain vanilla and pretty similar to what a lot of cities across the state are doing," City Manager Greg Buckley said. "It's not meant to be any kind of political statement (about concealed carry)."
Under Wisconsin's concealed-carry legislation, which goes into effect in November, people who obtain a permit and go through training will be allowed to carry concealed weapons in most public buildings unless a sign is posted saying they are not permitted.
