After the law was passed, there have been few accidental shootings in Kennesaw and none involving children in the 20 years that Lt. Craig Graydon has been with the department.How can you live there for seven years and not know about it? No, Mary, you don't have to do anything. Continue grazing contentedly. But just one question: You have heard of wolves, haven't you?
Yet the law is not known by all residents and it is not strictly enforced. No one has ever been arrested for not owning a gun and there is no penalty for violating the city ordinance, Graydon said.
That's good news for Mary Kopins, who has lived in the city for seven years.
"I hadn't heard of it," she said. "I hope that doesn't mean I have to go out and get a gun."
