Marathon County considers concealed ban in buildings

Friday, September 9, 2011

Marathon County's Parks committee is debating whether to ban weapons in public buildings.

The committee discussed the issue on Wednesday, and the Public Health and Safety Committee will review the subject next week.

The Parks committee recommended that no weapons concealed or otherwise be allowed in county buildings. Currently guns are banned at the courthouse only. The current law would make exceptions for the shooting range, park shelters and restrooms.

Any policy change would require the approval of the county board.
