City of the Month -- Chicago, IL |
|
|
Approximately once a month, I select a city and make available the full text of that city's knife-related municipal ordinances and regulations in PDF format. Registered users may download the full text PDFs for free. Full text ordinances for past Cities of the Month remain online for download for a limited time as well.
This month's City of the Month is the Windy City, Chicago, Illinois!
