Poll: Should CdA Lift Parade Gun Ban?

Parade-goers in Coeur d’Alene might not have to leave their guns at home anymore. During the Coeur d’Alene City Council meeting on Dec. 16, City Attorney Mike Gridley will present an amendment to a city ordinance which, until changed, bans guns during public events. The amendment, according to Gridley, removes the word “firearm” from the language of the regulation. Other weapons, like axes and grenades, will still be banned from events such as parades, he added. The presence of disorderly assemblies in Coeur d’Alene, in particular Aryan Nations parades on Sherman Avenue in the 1990s, prompted the city to originally push for the weapons ban/ Keith Cousins , Coeur d’Alene Press.
