Pittsburgh's short-lived ban on assault weapons, quashed by the General Assembly in 1994, is still on the city's books, and it may get new life under legislation driven by next month's G-20 summit.

I'd like to see all of Pittsburgh's citizens 'open carry' during the entire G-20. The people planning the security seem to be saying "Hey, I bet this is a good enough reason to trot out our gun-ban agenda." Maybe this whole group will be gone after the next election cycle.
