There will be no open carry for guns in Newark municipal buildings.
The decision by the City Council would also bar open carry in buildings leased by the resort.
Concealed licensed weapons would still be allowed.
There is also an exception for law enforcement and those who carry guns as part of their employment.
In addition, to banning open carry of firearms and gun components it would also bar explosives.
Those who opposed the ban argued that it would keep people who can’t afford a concealed weapon license from protecting themselves.
The state does allow open carry in public but it is barred in courtrooms and Legislative Hall as well as state and federal buildings.
A change in the law now allows cities like Newark to bar open carry.
