Lincoln's New Bill to change city code on storage

<< < (3/9) > >>

UncleChilly:
I never read the message board guidelines.  I hope it is ok to post the exact language:

11 9.36.110 Firearms in Unattended Motor Vehicle; Unlawful.
12 1. It shall be unlawful for any person to keep a firearm in a motor vehicle which is not
13 occupied and/or is outside the immediate control of the person responsible for the vehicle unless
14 the firearm is locked inside the glove box, trunk, other compartment of the vehicle, or a hardened
15 storage container securely attached to the vehicle in an unattended motor vehicle for a period in
16 excess of twenty-four hours.

17 2. The provisions of this section shall not apply to members of the Armed Forces of
18 the United States, active or reserve, the National Guard of this state, or Reserve Officers Training
19 Corps, when on duty or training, or peace officers or other duly authorized law enforcement
20 officers, nor shall it apply to vehicles containing firearms that are parked in locked enclosures or
21 buildings, such as garages or other storage facilities.

LJUnaTIC:
Disregard

UncleChilly:
As the proposed amendment does state a specific penalty, the Lincoln Municipal Code provides that a violation constitute a misdemeanor.

1.24.010 Penalty for Violations.
Misdemeanors. Any person upon whom a duty is placed by the provisions of this code who shall fail, neglect, or refuse to perform such duty or who shall violate any of the provisions of this code for which a penalty is not otherwise specifically provided shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed six months, or by a fine of not to exceed $500.00, recoverable with costs, or both. Each day that a violation of this code continues shall constitute a separate and distinct offense and shall be punishable as such.

so the way i read this is ... for sake of argument: you drive to place X,  get sick and an ambulance picks you up and your in the hospital for 4 days .... your car that is left behind gets broken in to on day 4 while your laid up and the cops catch the guy and find the gun in your car under the seat ...  you will get 2 years in jail and a $2,000 fine ?? because you did not get into your car for the 4 days your laid up ...
