Mr. Eastman said no. He believed the ordinance is well intended but it does not address <br />the problem or do anything to impact crime. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico asked if the ordinance only applied to dealers or aim to private individuals <br />wishing to sell a gun. <br /> <br /> Mr. Eastman said the current state law is that all guns, whether public or privately <br />owned, must be sold through a legal dealer. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico asked how many dealers are there in Pleasanton? <br /> <br /> Mr. Eastman said there is one commercial outlet and about twelve to fifteen home <br />licenses. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico asked how would an individual transfer the sale of a gun? <br /> <br /> Mr. Eastman said any private transaction would have to be made through a dealer. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico understood that certain types of guns are prohibited from being imported and <br />therefore an industry has been created to manufacture guns in California. <br /> <br /> Mr. Eastman said there are gun manufacturers in Caiifomia that manufacture firearms <br />similar to foreign firearms that used to be imported, but now have been banned. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico understood then there are foreign guns that are being banned from being <br />imported but are legal for them to be manufactured in the United States. Does the list in this <br />this ordinance match the list of guns that have been banned? <br /> <br /> Mr. Eastman did not know. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico asked how many permits there were to carry a concealed weapon? <br /> <br /> Mr. Eastman said twelve. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked what information was used for the ordinance. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said a number of jurisdictions have considered this ordinance and the roster. <br />In that context a definition was agreed upon that all the cities would adopt. Different cities <br />reached different conclusions about which guns should be on the list. The guns that showed up <br />on all the lists were used to create the roster that is shown here today. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver asked what the motivation was in 1968 for the Federal law banning the <br />importation of low quality, easily concealable weapons. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 07/12/97 <br />Minutes 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
