Only to be used against vicious animals.

Turner Valley Town Council has approved a new shotgun bylaw.

C-A-O Stan Ogrodniczuk says there have been a few cases where the officers were unable to do their job because of safety reasons but it's not like they will be carrying the weapons around.

Shotguns have to be locked in the trunk of the veichles and are to be used for self-defense protection from vicious animals.
