Push to ban guns in Blount County Parks

[Guest johnnyo]

A local Blount County Blog site is urging the people of BC to contact their commissioners and tell them if you want to opt out of the new law.

SO... I think we can do the same we can contact the commissioners and let them know that we do want to have the right to carry in local parks. Apparently this hasn't been brought up in Blount County (yet).

Your also welcome to leave a reply to this crazy post on the local BC blog Opt Out of handguns in local parks | BlountViews

I have personally spoken to the Alcoa Police Chief and he is very pro gun and doesn't have a problem with permit holders.

Opt Out of handguns in local parks

The Cities of Alcoa and Maryville, and Blount County have yet to address the issue of the new law that allows individuals with handgun carry permits to carry handguns in our local parks.

If you want your local government to address this issue by opting out to not allow these individuals to carry handguns in your local parks, contact the members of your city council, city commission, or county commission and let them know.

The new law takes effect September 1, 2009. You will need to contact your local representative soon to get this issue on the agenda of the last city council/commission, county commission meeting.

City of Alcoa Board of Commissioners contact information.

City of Maryville City Council contact information.

Blount County Commission contact information.
