THE ROSWELL CITY COUNCIL VOTES TO ALLOW ALL CITY EMPLOYEES TO CARRY A GUN WHILE ON THE JOB. THE ROSWELL DAILY RECORD REPORTS THAT THE COUNCIL MADE THE 9-1 VOTE TO APPROVE THE ISSUE THURSDAY NIGHT.
THE RESOLUTION ALLOWS THE CITY MANAGER TO LET CITY WORKERS WITH A NEW MEXICO CONCEALED-CARRY PERMIT TO CARRY A WEAPON ON CITY PROPERTY WHILE WORKING. IT’LL BE SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE PERMIT AND NOTICE TO THE CITY MANAGER AS WELL AS A WORKER’S DIRECT SUPERVISOR. THE RESOLUTION IS NOT A MANDATE, BUT AN OPTION.
