By
WHITE PLAINS - Westchester lawmakers voted Monday to ban gun shows on
county-owned property, but the mostly symbolic move won’t stop a show
scheduled at the Westchester County Center in two weeks.
The ban,
which passed by a 9-8 vote by the Westchester County Board of
Legislators, faces certain veto at the hands of County Executive Rob
Astorino, a Republican. Astorino said the upcoming gun show shouldn’t be
an issue because it will be “properly policed and protected.”
“These
people have a legal right, after they pass a very complete background
check, to have a gun," he said. “Some people want nothing to do with
guns, don’t want anyone to have a gun. I get that, I don’t agree with
that.”
