HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF It was recently pointed out to the City Attorney by a member of the Pasco Police Department that State Law prohibits aliens from carrying firearms of any kinds without a special license issued by the State This Statute is not currently m the Municipal Code Due to the problems the City is experiencing with the use of firearms on its streets and the number of non citizens in the area, it appears appropriate that the City include this particular State misdemeanor statute in its Municipal Code V.
