In one U.S. town, residents are legally required to own guns and ammo
Fox News
A city law dating back to 1982 requires residents of Kennesaw, Georgia to own guns and ammo.
Kendall Tietz is a writer with Fox News Digital.
Kennesaw's gun law states: "In order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition." The law excludes residents with mental or physical disabilities, felony convictions or conflicting religious beliefs.
"It's not like you go around wearing it on your hip like the Wild Wild West," Derek Easterling, the town's three-term mayor, told BBC News. "We're not going to knock on your door and say, ‘Let me see your weapon.’"
