Merrill, Wausau seeking concealed carry ban

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Yet another community is looking to change their ordinance in anticipation of the concealed carry law taking effect.

The City of Merrill will hold a special meeting of their common council on tomorrow. At that meeting they will vote on a revised ordinance, which would prevent anyone other than law enforcement in the scope of their duty from carrying a concealed weapon in city buildings.

The city of Wausau is considering a similar measure, which their public health and safety committee is working on. It could come up for vote next week.

The law allowing concealed weapons takes effect on November 1.
