From Times Wire Reports
The Modesto City Council rejected an idea to ban concealed weapons from its meetings.
Mayor Carmen Sabatino proposed the idea after a councilman who’s a retired sheriff’s deputy refused to say whether he brought a gun to a meeting.
Although Councilman Will O’Bryant pledged he wouldn’t arm himself at meetings, Sabatino pushed for the ban. The measure died Tuesday for lack of support.
