AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA,AMENDING CHAPTER 13, ARTICLE 10,AND CHAPTER 19,ARTICLE 3
OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING FIREARMS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
Chapter 13, Article 10, Section 94 et se�c. of the South Bend Municipal Code were
originally adopted in February 1994 pursuant to "Home Rule" powers granted to local
municipalities. Thereafter, the Indiana legislature enacted I.C. 35-47-11 and now I.C. 35-47-
11.1 which substantially restricts city's ability to regulate anything concerning firearms.
This ordinance deletes those portions of Chapter 13, Article 10, Sections 94 et se�yc. and
also Chapter 19, Article 3, Section 44 of the South Bend Municipal Code which are inconsistent
with or in derogation of I.C. 35-47-11.1-3 while exercising the residual regulatory powers over
firearms granted to cities by state law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South
Bend as follows:
Section I. The title of Chapter 13, Article 10, is amended to read as follows:
