MASON CITY – City officials are asking residents who carry firearms to be respectful of families and keep the firearm concealed while visiting Mason City’s public parks. Public parks include all public parks, MacNider Campground, Highland Park Golf Course, and the Mason City Aquatic Center.
The Mason City Park Board and City staff are unveiling a marketing campaign to ensure all patrons feel comfortable and not threatened while utilizing and enjoying the City’s parks.
The slogans include ‘Be considerate – conceal your firearm’; Don’t cause alarm – conceal your firearm’; and The law is your right, but be respectful and cover your firearm’.
Slogans will be broadcast over the EG Channel 4, posted to the City’s website, Facebook page, Twitter, and included with the City’s utility bills.
