Mayor and town council members that didn’t know

Shame on Mayor Leonard Anderson and Council members Bill Cushing, Ann Lansden, Mike Ragsdale, Bill Shain.

“What is important here is that in the beginning the Pine Bluffs Police officers Tom Moran, Brian Yeomans, Attorney Alex Davison, Mayor Leonard Anderson and the Council members all didn’t know the law or how to interpret the law written in their own books.”

What does Pine Bluffs have in common with the far left?

8-115 (g) (iv) (h) is the section of code that has an unconstitutional “blacklisting” and “search and seizure” provision in it.

Look at it for yourself, this is “blacklisting” just like what Homeland Security wants to do to our returning veterans, labeling them as extremists.

Alert! Pine Bluffs keeps law on books they used against your constitutional rights.

What is important here is statements the town attorney Alex Davison has previously stated:

” I can see how the law could also be interpreted to mean no open-carry at all” and ” I could prosecute and let the judge decide”.

These prior statements coupled with the newest one ”It is not the position of the governing council that open carry is prohibited by town ordinances“ is just more smoke and mirrors. To read article from The Pine Bluffs Post, click here

These positions contradict each other and confirm the need to remove all of 8-115 of their municipal code to stop any future abuses and misinterpretations.

Gun laws - preempted by the state

Two valid reasons for your rights, regardless what code Pine Bluffs cites.

1. The Wyoming Constitution.

Article 1 Section 24 “The right of the citizens to bear arms in the defense of themselves and the state shall not be denied.”

2. 6-8-401. (a) specifically states: “regulation thereof is preempted by the state”.

here is the definition of state preemption : Supremacy clause asserting that in legislation on the same subject, state legislation takes supremacy over local laws. The Drafters of this law did so, to stop a patchwork of regulations from occuring around the state.

________________________________________________________

6-8-401.� Firearm, weapon and ammunition regulation and prohibition by state.

(a)� The sale, transfer, purchase, delivery, taxation, manufacture, ownership, transportation, storage, use and possession of firearms, weapons and ammunition shall be authorized, regulated and prohibited by the state, and regulation thereof is preempted by the state. Except as authorized by W.S. 15-1-103(a)(xviii), no city, town or county shall authorize, regulate or prohibit the sale, transfer, purchase, delivery, taxation, manufacture, ownership, transportation, storage, use or possession of firearms, weapons and ammunition except as specifically provided by this chapter. This section shall not affect zoning or other ordinances which encompass firearms businesses along with other businesses. Zoning and other ordinances which are designed for the purpose of restricting or prohibiting the sale, purchase, transfer or manufacture of firearms or ammunition as a method of regulating firearms or ammunition are in conflict with this section and are prohibited.
