Bart S. Bonner, owner of JSL Communications, Watertown, will host a public forum to discuss school security, mental health and firearms issues in the wake of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School at 7 p.m. Friday in the auditorium of the Dulles State Office Building.

The discussion will be moderated by the host but the “microphone will be open to everyone,” Mr. Bonner said.

Mr. Bonner has invited interim Watertown Police Chief Gary R. Comins as well as state and federal legislators to the discussion.

Mr. Bonner paid the rental fee and liability insurance for the 792-seat auditorium. The forum will be recorded live and posted to steveweedproductions.com.

Those wishing to contribute to the forum may call Mr. Bonner at 788-5300.
