Impact analysis
Taxpayers could see modest city legal and planning costs, while gun-shop owners may face relocation, compliance, or lost business costs if the rule limits where they can operate.
Residents who want fewer gun shops near homes, schools, or other sensitive areas—and local officials seeking tighter oversight—stand to benefit.
Gun-shop owners and customers could be hurt by fewer allowable locations and reduced access to firearm retailers.
