present within a unit;
(2) an unsuccessful attempt is made to convene the legislative
body for the purpose of adopting an emergency ordinance under
this chapter; and
(3) in the case of a municipality, an unsuccessful attempt is
made to convene the works board to act under this chapter as if
the works board were the legislative body;

executive may declare a restriction on the sale of firearms anywhere
within the unit for a period of not more than seventy-two (72) hours
