    This bill adds "SCHOOL DISTRICT, INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT, COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT, PUBLIC LIBRARY, LOCAL AUTHORITY CREATED UNDER STATE LAW, OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THIS STATE" to the current definition of a "Local Unit of government".

    It also adds: "(2) THIS ACT DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE BOARD OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT OR THE BOARD OF AN INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT FROM ADOPTING OR ENFORCING POLICIES REGARDING THE POSSESSION OF PISTOLS, OTHER FIREARMS, OR PNEUMATIC GUNS BY STUDENTS OF THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT OR INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT."

    Without penalties, how does this get enforced?

    If this were already law, the MGO v AAPS case would be wrapped-up already (if it ever had been needed).

    On the other hand, this bill opens the door wide open to schools being able to restrict students from firearms possession/carry.

    At least the sponsors of this legislation now have bragging rights that they are doing something for gun owners in Michigan but have given us nothing in return.

    so... community colleges, but NOT universities are addressed? They should technically be covered under "local authority" but by specifically naming colleges and not universities doesn't that give them a loophole to turn into a noose. even if it MAY fail on a court challenge, somebody is going to have to risk getting expelled to force it.

    This would be a big blow to our friends at "Students for Concealed Carry".
