News (AP) - City yields, allows guns at Royal Oak festival
ROYAL OAK (AP) -- Royal Oak officials have voted to allow licensed handgun owners to openly carry their weapons at a popular Detroit-area summer arts festival.
Commissioners on Monday night struck down a contract clause between the Ford Arts, Beats & Eats festival and the city that prohibited guns at the annual Labor Day weekend event.
Residents and public safety officials for weeks had expressed safety concerns. Proponents said state law and the Second Amendment allow a person who is licensed to carry a firearm, holstered and in plain sight.
Festival organizer Jon Witz said he supported the commission's decision.
Now in its 13th year, the festival was previously held in nearby Pontiac.
