MISSION, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Some Mission residents are speaking out about one of their neighbors who is attempting to sell firearms out of his home.

"We bought our homes in a residential area. We never thought a gunshop would open up across the street," said Mission resident Nancy Lawheed.

David Balderas is asking the city to issue him a conditional use permit to sell firearms out of his home. However, people against the move spoke out during Monday's city commissioners' meeting.

Mission City Attorney Victor Flores says the city is taking its time to consider the request.

“At the end of the day, although this does relate to the sale of firearms, the city's portion of this is just regulating the operation of a business from home. That's what the permit is being presented for," said Flores.
