Police push gun ban in Pangasinan towns

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – The Pangasinan Provincial Police Office recommended to the provincial board to pass a resolution for a total gun ban during the province’s hosting of the PalarongPambansa 2012.

            The proposal stemmed from fear that more crimes might happen during the big sports event from May 6 to May 12.

            The total gun ban will served as a proactive measure in preparation for the security not for just the people of Pangasinan but for athletes and delegates participating in the PalarongPambansa.

            The provincial board requested representatives from the provincial police to attend the regular session on Monday to defend his recommendation for a gun ban. -- LBI
