Fact 2229 — Kennesaw’s firearm ordinance

Kennesaw, Georgia, has a 1982 city ordinance requiring heads of households to keep a firearm. It also says the firearm must be maintained in a safe condition. The city does not prosecute people with moral objections, a felony conviction, or a physical or mental disability that prevents firearm use; the ordinance also recognizes exceptions under state law. This is a local ordinance with exceptions, not a simple universal requirement for every family.
