All five members of Aspen City Council stood fast in the face of nearly three hours of public comment Tuesday night, and unanimously passed a ban on open carry guns during city council meetings and within city buildings where posted.
The second reading of the ordinance was scheduled as the last order of business for the night. A group of more than ten dissenters sat through the entire council meeting, which began at 5 p.m, in order to voice their concerns about the ordinance to the council.
Lauren Boebert was among a group of women who attended the meeting with holstered firearms visible. The group questioned the legality of the ordinance and said they feared continued government overreach.
"This ordinance is unconstitutional and violates the law of the land," said Boebert. "If the Second Amendment will not be held in high regard by the city of aspen, what other rights are you prepared to trample on?" https://www.aspendailynews.com/news/open-carry-guns-now-banned-from-city-hall/article_08c548b6-f5a2-11e9-bddf-af50287f781a.html |
