with a bar-paid DORA bracelet to open carry their beer or liquor (and their concealed weapon) while roaming the small businesses in our "Old Town" every day of the year from noon to 9PM...who thought this was a great idea to help "commerce"? Just don't light up or vape on public streets and inside public buildings - right? In or near the area, is the toddler fountain foot splash; the granite-cut stoned steep amphitheater where live music is presented, a gun shop, open air seating for what amounts to a food court, school zones at the periphery of the designated areas, and a wooded trail head that connects to other nearby communities. Many nights, even prior to these rules, a LE helicopter has circled overhead "ground spotlight" on the ground searching for criminals.
Round-a-bouts were installed several years back to improve the "flow" of traffic. TPTB have torn them up 3 times already for improvements including speed bumps, islands, signage changes, and 5G hardware installation. They've encouraged parking at the in-town county fairgrounds. In addition, every day can potentially have an "event" to draw people, and the street corners are clogged because pedestrians and cyclists roam in and out of the DORA areas, possibly drunk and packing, where- and whenever they'd like to cross the streets. The street is used for emergency vehicles through town as well as delivery 18-wheelers, but so much for traffic flow! Though on a smaller scale, have our GQP city managers forgotten Las Vegas and Dayton's Oregon District mass shootings?
This HS is just steps from the DORA area: a fine example of a responsible fan? Hilliard police charge man photographed with gun at girls state wrestling tournament. https://www.10tv.com/article/news/crime/man-with-gun-at-hillard-davidson/530-34626443-6368-4f80-839d-fa8c44b79cb5
