Beloit Continues To Debate Concealed Carry Rules Within City Hall

Concealed Carry Ordinance To Be Discussed On Monday

Updated: 8:52 pm CST November 17, 2011

BELOIT, Wis. -- Beloit city leaders are still debating whether to ban carrying concealed weapons at City Hall.

Those opposed to the possible city ordinance in Beloit argued a ban is meaningless without a plan to enforce it.

"The Constitution says it very clearly: 'The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,'" said Town of Beloit resident Charles Kuecker.

Kuecker, a tea party member, said banning concealed carry in places like a city hall leaves area residents vulnerable.

"I think it's a really dumb thing to say we're going to ban weapons from a city building, and have no way to enforce this," Kuecker said. "I mean if they were going to hire off-duty Transportation Security Administration groper people to come and pat people down and metal detectors, then it would be a law with teeth."

"The Police Department will enforce any ordinance the city council passes, " said Capt. Vince Sciame, Beloit Police Department.Sciame said the possibility of having additional guns on city properties could make police officers' job more difficult.

"The state law to carry concealed is going to be a challenge for the Police Department, just because of the number of additional weapons that could be out there," Sciame said. "We are looking to make the transition as smooth as possible."

On his website, CKent.org, Kuecker has been encouraging people to arm themselves with information about state and federal gun laws. Whatever the outcome in Beloit, the lifelong gun enthusiast said he just wants his voice to be heard.

"I'd like them to understand there are people out there who feel strongly about this."

James E. Van De Bogart, the vice president of the Beloit City Council, said the ordinance was already read at a council meeting earlier this month. It will be read again at their meeting coming up on Monday.

Council members could vote at that time, or they could table it for a future date. There is a place on the agenda for public comments on Monday night.
