About 30 people, pistols strapped to their hips, strode into the council's meeting this week protesting the policy and warning that it violates their constitutional right to bear arms -- and possibly state laws, as well.

Anyone? So when the police show up, armed, they have to call 911 and get more police there? Seems like the whole department would be there pretty soon!
