Southbury considering firearm ban at town events, on town property

Southbury officials are considering whether to have an ordinance written that would ban firearms at town events and on town-owned property.  The Board of Selectmen is holding a public hearing on the idea tomorrow at Pomperaug High School at 7pm.  Similar ordinances are in place in Ansonia, Meriden and Naugatuck.  The Newstimes reports that there are concerns from gun rights supporters that the ban could be expanded to town-owned roads meaning that people wouldn't be able to leave their home while armed.  Connecticut gun permits allow concealed or open carry, except on school grounds.
