Mississippi mayor plans to sue aldermen over gun ban, pay cuts

ABERDEEN, Miss. — A Mississippi mayor who brought a gun to a public hearing says he plans to file a lawsuit against the town's board of alderman.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports Aberdeen Mayor Maurice Howard said Friday he plans to legally challenge a resolution the board passed to forbid firearms at City Hall.

The board motioned Tuesday to post signage stating guns wouldn't be allowed except for by law enforcement. Howard says he didn't do anything illegal when he wore a gun in a holster to a budget meeting Sept. 3.
