RAYMORE, Mo. -- Concealed weapons could soon find their way legally into CityHall in Raymore, but not everyone is on board with the idea.

If the ordinance passes, it would make Raymore one of the first cities nationwide to allow City Council members the right to carry a concealed weapon. The ordinance would remove firearms restrictions around the city.

The sign that currently hangs on the door of City Hall reads, "No guns are allowed in Raymore City hall." But that might change if one council member gets his way.

"I've always been a strong supporter of the second amendment and this is something that I've wanted to do since I got on the Council," said Councilman Jeff Cox.

In February 2008, a man with a long beef against the city opened fire at a Kirkwood, Mo., City Council meeting killing police and Council members. Cox said that's a reason why Raymore should drop its gun laws so that Council members can protect themselves.

"Never before have I felt fear sitting up here, but my view is it's good public policy," he said.

Missouri law says elected officials can carry guns in meetings, but most cities have laws that restrict firearms.

"I can't see how being known as a gun-toting town is going to improve our image," said Councilwoman Charlene Hubach.

Hubach is against the ordinance. She said it will open the city up to possible legal problems.

"We don't have too many people show up at meetings," she said. "It's either Boy Scouts or the Girl Scouts. I can't see why the Council would need to carry weapons against Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts."
