Decision a win for gun owners

[Bob S]

In a victory for gun owners, the Michigan Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal of a lower court decision that cities can't ban handguns from city halls, libraries and other public buildings.

The decision gives a victory to a statewide gun-rights group that challenged a 2001 ban by Ferndale on guns in city buildings.

The decision "means that somebody packing a gun can walk into our police department or our code enforcement offices or our council chambers. Look at what happened in New York in July," Porter said, referring to the recent fatal shooting of a city council member.

If I remember correctly he was carrying illegaly anyways. Lotta good a law does when someone intends to break it anyways.

More than likely the Ferndale lawyers are laughing their guts out having generated justification for increasing their legal department and getting the opportunity to look busy. You would think it would be the other way around. You would think that the Ferndale lawyers would now look silly to the city council and they would have to account for why all that money was wasted.

What difference does wasting money make? It's only tax payer funds.
