Town council considers offering free concealed carry classes

In the wake of recent mass shootings in Colorado and Wisconsin, the Jeffersontown City Council is considering offering free concealed carry licensing classes to residents.

Councilman Ron Powell suggested the idea at a City Council meeting a day after a gunman shot and killed six people at a Sikh temple in Milwaukee on Aug. 5.

Had someone with a gun and a concealed carry license been present at the temple, and at the Aurora, Colo., movie theater where a gunman killed 12 people July 20, the death tolls at both locations might not have been as high, Powell said.
