Kansas: Anti-Open Carry Agenda Proposed in Topeka

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:45:16 +0000

On Tuesday, March 9, during a City Council work session, City attorney Kyle Smith and Police Chief Ron Miller proposed banning the open carrying of firearms in Topeka. In 2007, the city council repealed its ban on the open carry of firearms, so itâ??s unclear why these officials have now proposed reinstituting such an ordinance. Since then, there have been no instances of unlawfulness or violence regarding open carry. The claims and “what ifs” stated by the opponents are unfounded and not supported by any research or facts. They are simply using scare tactics to push more stringent gun restrictions on the citizens of Topeka.

For those who visit the various online forums, you’ve probably seen us before….we are hoping to find more LR Handgun enthusiasts to join us in June…we’ve added 2 new events, as well as a pre-match Prairie Dog Shoot for the competitors…it’s going to be a great time!

MOA Corporation is a small, semi-custom builder of a unique falling block handgun, the Maximum. The owner, Richard Mertz has held a Long Range competition since 2007, and this year, five of us have formed a volunteer commitee to better publicize the event, as well as to provide a couple of new events (including a Prairie Dog Shoot to precede the match). Many of us frequent the Specialty Pistols forum, as well as others. We hope that those of you interested in Specialty Handguns will consider joining us in Sundance!

Interested parties will find contact info. on the site, or send me a phone number and appropriate time to call to answer questions…I am NOT selling anything, just boosting participation in the shoot! Hope some of you will choose to join us this year!

Thanks for looking!
