04-12-16 BOA Minutes April 12, 2016 Page 7 of 9 enumerate the circumstances in which a person commits the offense of unlawful use of a weapon and the requirements of lawful concealed carry in accordance with legislation enacted in the State of Missouri, effective August 28, 2015. A red-lined version detailing the changes is attached. Recommendation is to approve the amendment. In response to Alderman Boulton’s question, Alderman Winings pointed out that the definition of a spring gun was included in the ordinance and reads as follows, Spring Gun - Any fused, timed or non-manually controlled trap or device designed or adapted to set off an explosion for the purpose of inflicting serious physical injury or death.’
In response to Alderman Boulton’s question, City Attorney O’Keefe explained that State law requires that municipal ordinances dealing with weapons and ammunition comply exactly with State law and anything that is not consistent with State law is pre-empted. Over the last few years, since we last looked at our ordinance the Missouri General Assembly has been vigorous and vigilant in its protection of the rights of people with respect to weapons and our ordinances have not kept pace. In response to Alderman Boulton’s question regarding a concealed knife, Chief Murphy confirmed that you cannot carry a blade if it’s over four inches. Alderman Garnholz introduced Bill No. 6549, an ordinance to approve an amendment to Chapter 215- Offenses, Weapons, Carrying Concealed and Other Unlawful Uses to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Winings seconded.
In response to Alderman Boulton’s question, City Attorney O’Keefe stated that “The displaying of any portion of the areola of the female breast or failure to cover the entire areola and front of the breast with opaque clothing;” is the added language. Alderman Boulton withdrew her motion to amend the ordinance. In response to Alderman Garnholz’s question, City Attorney O’Keefe explained that he drafted the ordinance (1) as a response to circumstances nearby; (2) when he found this in the Code of State Regulations he felt that the easiest way to avoid risks and/or trying to reinvent the wheel and get into dicey first amendment issues was to track the existing regulations already out there as closely as possible; (3) he hadn’t thought of any circumstances where this conduct was problematic that didn’t involve places that sold liquor.
