P.A. mayor calls for review of provincial gun licensing laws
The Mayor of Prince Albert plans to write a strongly worded letter to the provincial government, urging a review of the province’s gun licensing laws.
The move comes following a break-in this week at a downtown city business. An undisclosed number of handguns were stolen from Arnie’s Guns and Archery early Wednesday morning.
Greg Dionne said the gun theft raises serious safety concerns for the general public as well as the men and women on the police force. Acknowledging gun store robberies have happened in other cities as well, Dionne plans to bring the issue to the next Board of Police Commissioners meeting.
“It’s not unique to us, but now that it has affected us we are a little more aggressive because we want to make sure people are protected,” he said.
