If we win community colleges should also be barred from enacting their own policies, depending on the wording of the opinion.

I'd prefer to CC too but I'll take what I can get! I wonder if my .22mag NAA with its belt buckle holster would garner any flak...
I started thinking about this more. I wonder if something small like an LCP in an OWB holster would go quite a bit more unnoticed getting you less flak vs the more noticable full size HK I carry 95% of the time. You could probably keep a tiny gun's view mostly obstructed by your arm while walking and what not. Not my ideal sized gun but if it kept me more off the radar, then it might be the way I'd go.
Legal question:I open carry in a community college after the ruling(assuming wordings are in our favor). I carry my .22mag NAA mini revolver on it's belt buckle holster openly. When asked "Is that real?" would I be subject to any legal issues if I said something like "neh, it's just a lighter"(provided I'm not saying this to a peace officer)?
Interesting question but why lie in the first place when you can say "sure looks real, doesn't it?" Or something similar.
Outstanding.
I now have a better understanding of why attorneys charge so much.
This looks like a huge amount of work and well done.
For fun I changed some of your wording where it would apply to the United States as wishful thinking.
The legislature's concern about a patchwork of state ordinances creating unfair
prosecutions of persons carrying licensed pistols in the United States. Such individuals would inevitably enter States controlled by
authorities where local rules ban conduct licensed and regulated under the Constitution of the United States, creating a
spate of unfair prosecutions in some States for conduct fully lawful elsewhere in the United States.
Such a patchwork of State regulation would create an unfair burden on the courts,
prosecutors, police, and on members of the public engaging in conduct that is allowed by the Constitution of the United States.
UM's case will be the linchpin, but this case will certainly go a long way, since most community colleges are under the same scheme as school districts insofar as state law is concerned.
But once U of Michigan loses big, then all universities will know they're preempted.
Based on my own experience, many months before a hearing; could be anywhere from a couple of weeks to many more months before a decision. We'll probably be waiting for a decision Christmas time. I have seen very quick decisions (less than 2 weeks after the hearing).
The wheels of justice turn slowly. I can see this get consolidated with the other preemption cases, which could lengthen the times. But it might be worth it. I'm hoping to see something like "if the legislature wanted to carve out schools and colleges it could have done so."
