Alabama Town Wants To Ban Guns From Local Water Park
By Cam Edwards
After a shooting at a water park in Decatur, Alabama, officials in the town are trying to figure out what they can do to declare the park a “gun free zone” without violating state law.
The Decatur Daily reports that officials say they need a change in state law before banning visitors from bringing guns into Decatur’s Point Mallard water park. But a state lawmaker from Decatur says minor changes would allow a gun ban.
The issue is a state law that allows weapons at many public venues.
Right now there appears to be some back and forth between local officials and state lawmakers, who say the town could ban firearms if it made some changes to security at the water park complex.
City attorney Herman Marks says state law prohibits an outright ban on guns. Republican State Sen. Arthur Orr of Decatur says lawyers tell him the city could prohibit guns if it also controls access and increases security.
What none of the local officials seem willing to acknowledge, however, is that the suspect in the case was illegally carrying a firearm when he allegedly fired shots.
