WARWICK — Some Warwick residents still feel the firearm ban at the Town Hall is unnecessary. But Selectboard members aren’t inclined to retract their policy.

During a June meeting, an angry resident, Jon Calcari, raised his voice, and Selectboard Chairwoman Dawn Magi said she felt threatened by the man, whom she knew to sometimes carry a handgun. On Aug. 3, the Selectboard voted 2-1 to enact a ban. Lawrence “Doc” Pruyn voted against the ban while Magi and Nicholas Arguimbau voted in favor.

During the public comment period at the end of this Monday’s meeting, Warwick resident Steve Ruggiero — one of five residents at the meeting — asked the board to reconsider the vote.

The board declined.
