. This comes after two gun stores inquired about opening there. The city wants time to research the matter, meanwhile concerned residents and a frustrated gun shop are already weighing in.
As it turns out, there are no specific regulations on this. When it comes to firearms retailers, Redwood City treats them like any other commercial business.And so a group of residents circulated a petition, gathering 1,500 signatures in five days. The gun store, called Dumpling Defense, released a statement saying ..."it's even more frustrating to have the rug pulled from under us mid-application, not to mention all the revenue and opportunities lost from the business perspective.""I was sucked into the controversy and did not know it was going to be such a big deal but at this point there are a lot of groups involved in this. Second Amendment is very dear to a lot of people.
