Gun bounty program proposed in Canton

Post by NeverAlone »

Under the proposed program, an anonymous tipster would be eligible to receive a $100 reward if he or she provides information leading to the confiscation of a firearm that is possessed illegally in a public place. Another requirement is the arrest of the offender on a weapons-related charge.

Is this legal? It seems like down right harassment in the making for law abiding citizens who have a CHL or for those who choose to open carry.
