UPDATED: Copy of the Winston-Salem ordinance banning concealed carry in parks is attached below.
In response to the North Carolina General Assembly's repeal of a statewide ban on concealed carry in public parks, the Winston-Salem City Council enacted a ban on concealed firearms in most City-owned parks. This means even law-abiding citizens with valid North Carolina concealed carry permits cannot carry concealed firearms in City parks.
The vote, taken during the City Council meeting on November 21, 2011, was 7 to 1 in favor of the ban. The lone dissenting vote came from James Taylor, Jr. of the Southeast Ward. Taylor voted against the ordinance because he favors a ban on concealed carry in all public parks, not just most of them as provided in the ordinance.
No word yet on whether the 8morons councilpersons have figured out how to make the thugs and criminals obey the ordinance.
