Cook: A new law – you must own a gun

There’s a gun show this weekend at the Chattanooga Armory. Doors open at 9. What if we all went?

And we all bought a gun?

In Kennesaw, Ga., an hour or two away, every resident must own a firearm. It’s city law. And has been since the 1980s.

“Every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm,” reads Article II, Sec. 34-21 (a). “Together with ammunition therefore.”

I called the Kennesaw city clerk. I listened hard for gunshots in the background. Instead, I think I heard a fax machine. Maybe a coffee pot brewing.
