"Needles want to take its fight for gun rights to Sacramento, where it hopes to be given the go-ahead to ignore some of the state’s gun laws.

The Needles City Council on Tuesday, July 9, adopted a resolution declaring the city a “Second Amendment Sanctuary,” giving direction to city officials to begin working with state representatives on legislation that would exempt the city — and possibly other border cities — from rules on ammunition and concealed weapon permits, among other things.

In addition to declaring support for the Second Amendment, the city resolution includes language about the flow of commerce in the tri-state area, suggesting California’s rules make it tougher for out-of-state residents, from nearby Arizona and Nevada, to do business in Needles." (visit link)
