http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/01/22/1271741/-Colorado-town-officials-prepare-to-quit-en-masse-after-council-votes-for-guns-in-hearings?detail=email#Many, if not all, of the planning commissioners for the town of Castle Rock, Colorado may quit their jobs after the town council voted on Tuesday to allow guns to be openly carried in public buildings and parks.
Last week, Castle Rock Planning Commission acting chair Michael Fronczak notified the town clerks office that many on the Commission have expressed that they would feel unsafe serving as a Commissioner if open carry were permitted.
Many seemed to think this is not a good idea:
In June 2013, Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue had asked the town council to consider repealing a ban on weapons being openly displayed in public buildings and parks. Donahue is also managing partner of the nearby Centennial Gun Club.
A survey of town employees found that about 95 percent did not want the ban repealed, and on Sept. 5, Castle Rocks public safety commission voted to recommend against repeal.
Of course the Council voted to repeal the ban and allow open carry of firearm at meetings and other public gathering areas.
The meeting is described as "heated" and video is at the link.
Guns are JUST what every heated community meeting discussion needs....

Less dangerous and more humorous.
