Parents concerned about gun store opening within 1,000 feet of a school
Tuesday marked the start of a new school year for students across our area, including at North Middle School in Menomonee Falls.
Also new this year is a gun store that just opened not far from the school.
A post on Facebook caught our attention. Some parents commented, asking how the store is allowed considering federal and state gun-free school zone laws.
Our new specialty reporting team, Lighthouse, went looking for answers.
In downtown Menomonee Falls, this sign is required by state law outside Shepard Arms. It informs anyone who walks by that it’s within 1,000 feet of a school. It’s something several parents say they strongly oppose.
