Lee County likely to lift gun ban

People with permits would be OK in parks

By Brian Liberatore • bliberatore@news-press.com • October 26, 2010

1:10 A.M. — Lee County is likely to let permitted gun owners carry arms in public parks rather than buck state law.

Commissioners today will decide whether to lift a ban that prevented people — even those with state-issued concealed weapons licenses — from carrying guns in some county-owned parks. The county’s legal staff is suggesting commissioners lift the ban on permit holders to stay consistent with state law.

Depending on the vote, the county could have to modify signs at county parks, which banned firearms alongside alcohol and leash-less dogs.

Commissioners voted Tuesday to amend an ordinance and allow permitted concealed firearms and weapons at county parks to conform to state law.

Florida statutes allow people to carry a concealed weapon or firearm in a state park, but they must possess a Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm License. An amendment was proposed to Lee County Parks and Recreation Ordinance 06-26, which prohibited firearms and weapons in county parks.
