Elder Jesse Reed: “I feel people who carry a concealed weapon–legal or otherwise–will cause more harm than good.”

Vernon Townsend: “Being a business owner for over 60 years, I don’t believe in carrying concealed weapons. Only law enforcement should carry weapons.”

Debra M. Newsom: “I don’t think we should have a concealed weapon law. We have enough guns on the streets.”

Dorothy Robertson: “I’m not sure that would be a good idea because people react differently when they have weapons as opposed to trying to think of another solution.”
