Interestingly I wonder why nobody is touting this headline!
"As the debate over guns continues in Washington and in communities across the country, there's at least one place where owning a gun is technically required by law.
In Kennesaw, Georgia, local law says that "every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm.
Many locals CNN spoke to assumed that the law dated back to the town's founding, but it was actually only enacted in 1982. "It was meant to be kind of a crime deterrent," said Lt. Craig Graydon, who's been with the Kennesaw Police Department for over 30 years. "It was also more or less a political statement because the city of Morton Grove, Illinois, passed a city ordinance banning handguns from their city limits."
Back then, the town had a population of just a few thousand. Over three decades later, the law is still on the books. Today, Kennesaw, a town of about 33,000 people, has had one murder in the last six years and a violent crime rate of below 2%." In this American town, guns are required by law - CNN
Eat your heart out Chicago, Baltimore, etc.
