Conservatives gotta conserve power, at the taxpayers’ expense, part twelve million:

County votes to proceed with suit vs. city over Festival gun-ban (goes to the Sandpoint, Idaho Reader, more at the link)

The Festival at Sandpoint had barely opened its 2019 season when open carry and concealed firearms advocates took aim at the event’s weapons ban.

“The Festival doesn’t have the right to negotiate away my right to carry a firearm on city property,” Selle Valley resident Craig Frick testified at the Aug. 7 Sandpoint City Council meeting.

Now, only a few weeks after the close of the summer concert series on Aug. 11, the city of Sandpoint is being sued by Bonner County over the Festival’s policy barring weapons.
