City considers lifting ban on loaded guns in vehicles
By GEORGE LEDBETTER, Record Editor Wednesday, September 22, 2010
A loaded rifle is a piece of ranch equipment just like a fence stretcher, and the city of Chadron shouldn’t make criminals of ranchers who leave their gun in the pickup when they come to town, city council member John Gamby said Monday.
The comment came during first reading of Gamby’s proposal to repeal a portion of the city code that prohibits carrying loaded weapons in a vehicle.
The ordinance has apparently been on the books since 1978, he said, but only came to his attention during a review of all city regulations that took place earlier this year. “I guess nobody has ever been arrested for it,” he said, adding that the ordinance in effect makes criminals of many ranchers and hunters who come through town.
