I'm looking for advice on how to go about getting this city ordinance changed to at least allow CHL holders the ability to carry in parks. I regularly visit the dog park, take my dogs for walks. This park is one of the bigger parks in Baytown, but it has had some issues with people being attacked. Just curious where to start, unless I am missing or don't understand something. Being licensed to carry I still cannot carry when I go to the park.
- Sec. 70-6. - Firearms or fireworks.
