Kennesaw may abolish gun ban in parks

Kennesaw, just north of Atlanta, is considering allowing people to carry firearms in public parks.

The move comes after the city attorney received a letter from a gun-rights group urging the repeal of a local law prohibiting guns in parks.

Town officials say there is a good reason to repeal the ordinance: state law says only the state has power to determine where guns may be carried.

Another Kennesaw ordinance requires landowners to own a gun.
