Resident suggests gun ordinance in Holly Springs – The Cherokee Ledger-News: Top Stories

An ordinance recently passed in a northern Cherokee County city has inspired one resident in Holly Springs to take a strong stance in support of an ordinance that mandates law-abiding citizens to own a firearm.

During the public comment portion of the May 20 Holly Springs City Council meeting, resident Dave Konwick asked city leaders to consider implementing the Family Protection Ordinance, as Nelson recently did.

“I’m making a proposal and not trying to draw hoops for people to jump through,” he said. “You have two options: decide on the ordinance as a council or put it on the ballot and let the people decide.”

The council did not comment on his request at the meeting, but afterward Councilwoman Karen Barnett said while she supports citizens’ Second Amendment rights, she does not support more government.

“Although I believe in our right to keep and bear arms, I don’t believe that we need more government intervention in our lives forcing us to do so, but this is only my opinion,” she said.
