Kennesaw introduced its gun ordinance to enhance public safety and deter crime. The law mandates that every head of household within city limits maintain a firearm and ammunition. Certain groups, including individuals with mental or physical disabilities, felons, and those with religious objections, are exempt from this requirement.
The law remains largely symbolic, as authorities do not enforce compliance. Mayor Derek Easterling explained that there have been no arrests or prosecutions under the ordinance. He emphasized that the law is not meant to force residents to display or openly carry firearms.

Opinions about the law vary among Kennesaw residents. Supporters believe it contributes to the town's safety and reduces crime rates. In 2023, there were no reported murders, though two suicides involved firearms. Some argue that the awareness of armed citizens deters criminals.
