#1 The much bigger city of Albuquerque had fought against conceal carry and lost to the state legislature. The law authorizing it does provide for restrictions in courthouses and court facilities. It does not address other public property. So if the village of Ruidoso has one facility that acts as courthouse et al, then he's covered. Otherwise he is acting in contravention to the cited law. May he enjoy the litigation that follows.

#2 And what is this solving? Are there shootouts daily? Sounds like Mr. Pantytwist Mayor is just part of the "Guns are bad oo we scared" crowd and is doing a "feel good" move. Which will make people more vulnerable and has the potential to get more innocents killed ironically.
They used to run people like him out on a rail.

#3 ...and to provide for peaceful, appropriate, professional, and polite discourse amongst our citizens while they conduct business with the village.

Typical gun-grabber mentality. Create a phony solution to a non-existent problem.

#4 Does that include the cops? State as well as local? Is he going to arrest any armed feds that walk into the town?

#5 Ironically(?), The Book of Eli -- which emphasized the importance of self-reliance and arming yourself against the bad guys (in this case, the very people who ran the town) -- was filmed in part in the Carrizozo - Ruidoso area.
