Summit County Bans Guns From County Facilities

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (AP) - Summit County commissioners have banned guns and other deadly weapons from most county facilities.

The policy doesn't apply to law enforcement officers or people carrying concealed weapons who have a permit to do so.

The ban applies to most county facilities, including the county courthouse, the justice center and the Blue River ball fields.

According to the Summit Daily News, the resolution was written and passed at the request of the sheriff's office, but it was not drafted in response to any particular incident.
