I have a CC permit but my position is that everyone above the age of 21 should be required to carry a weapon anytime they leave their home. I don't even care if they are convicted criminals or not. Cherry picking the Bill of Rights, never seemed like the right thing to do. I've never been convicted of anything beyond a speeding ticket but allowing ex felons to keep all of their rights except, owning a gun, running for public office, and voting is just plain wrong. You either keep all your rights or you lose all your rights. There shouldn't be any middle ground. A few years ago, I read something about a small town in Texas that had a City Ordinance that required everyone to be armed. Hmmmmm…… Crime went to almost zero.

5 American cities that require you to own a gun

They may rarely punish their citizens for choosing not to own a gun, but their loose mandates are more about making a statement than enforcing a law.

1. Kennesaw, Georgia

Kennesaw has the most well-known gun mandate in the country. In 1982, a law was passed requiring heads of households to own at least one firearm.

Other cities have used Kennesaw as an example for gun mandates

2. Nelson, Georgia

Nelson unanimously passed an ordinance making gun ownership mandatory in 2013.

3. Nucla, Colorado

Nucla became the first city to mandate gun ownership in Colorado.

With just around 700 people, Nucla passed what they call the "Home Protection Ordinance" in 2013, but does not actually enforce it.

4. Gun Barrel City, Texas

Gun Barrel got its fitting name as a safe haven for outlaws like Bonnie and Clyde during the Prohibition era.

The city's motto is "We shoot straight with you."

5. Virgin, Utah

In 2000, the city council passed an ordinance making firearm ownership mandatory. The mayor at the timeDe encouraged this move because most citizens had already owned guns.


Details on Kennesaw, GA

My view is similar

If we can't trust them with those Rights we need to keep them locked up
