A break-in at a Cannon Beach emergency supply cache last spring revealed
a firearm in one of the city-held emergency preparedness kits.
The city is working on new ways to ensure that citizens stock only approved items in the kits they keep on city property. But the story got us thinking: Should firearms be included in emergency preparedness kits? Why or why not?
