MEMPHIS VOTERS TO DECIDE ON GUN CONTROL MEASURES IN NOVEMBER BALLOT AFTER CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL
The Memphis City Council is giving voters the power to reshape the city's stance on firearms, as a trio of gun control measures are set to appear on the November ballot.
Unanimously approved and slated following a council vote this past Tuesday, these measures mark a significant step for Memphians to voice their opinions on local gun legislation which, until now, has often been stymied at the state level.
According to Action News 5, the first measure tackles the awareness around carrying handguns, stipulating an amendment to the City of Memphis Charter that would demand a valid carry permit for any handgun owner.
Additionally, it would address the security of firearms in unattended vehicles, requiring them to be kept under lock and key away from potential thieves.
