(CBS) — Chicago aldermen have given preliminary approval to a measure allowing guns to be sold within the city as a federal court has ordered.
WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore reports the ordinance which goes before the full City Council next week restricts where gun shops can be located. It requires gun sales to be videotaped, records kept and restricts purchasers to one handgun a month.
Council Public Safety Committee Chair Alderman James Balcer says given that the city has to allow guns to be sold here, this is the best it can do.
