Katz's bill that would increase the penalty for carrying a firearm concealed without a permit under certain circumstances, again fell short of the 41 votes (absolute majority) needed for passage. This time the vote was 36-30; the bill had already failed earlier in the week on a 37-30 vote. Also, the Assembly Ways and Means Committee killed Senate bill 822, which would require the destruction of seized firearms by law enforcement authorities. In Lafayette, California, the City Council wants to use their local zoning authority to ban the sale of firearms by licensed dealers in any area not zoned for commercial business. It is critical that you attend the Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, August 22, at 500 St. Mary's Road in Lafayette to show your opposition to this proposal. Call the City Council at (510) 284- 1968 after 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 18, to verify the time and agenda of the August 22 meeting. Earlier this year, the Council passed a resolution calling for bans on semi-automatic firearms and ammunition, as well as allowing any local governing body to restrict your Second Amendment rights in any way that they choose. That resolution and this proposed zoning ordinance are the first steps in an all-out local assault on your rights! Fight back by calling your City Council members and urging them to oppose this ordinance. Make plans to attend the August 22 City Council meeting with fellow gun owners.
