Ebensburg, Cambria County--- Ebensburg Borough had a gun ban in place which prohibited gun owners from carrying their weapons in public places, but not anymore.
Timothy Havener challenged the borough’s ban stating it violated his rights as a gun owner, and he came out on top.
The borough agreed with Havener stating their ban did violate the states firearms codes that prohibits the local government from regulating firearms.
“Our legal department agreed with Mr. Havener and we were forced to amend that particular code,” said Borough Manager Dan Penatzer.
