Traverse City School Carry
« on: September 21, 2015, 08:41:34 AM »
http://www.record-eagle.com/news/local_news/new-bill-court-case-fuel-debate-over-guns-in-schools/article_32a6855d-0a24-59cd-8733-10724a9915cc.html

The Michigan Association of School Boards argued in a court brief filed this week for local control of gun rules.

Joel Gerring, assistant legal counsel for the association, said a loophole is created by the fact that no law specifically mentions concealed pistol license holders and open carry.

Gerring said he's arguing against a previously dismissed case in which the judge said the practice is permitted and compared schools to libraries. Instead, Gerring said schools are more like courts, which have the autonomy to set their own rules.

Umm... What?
Are schools supposed to be the forth branch of government now or something?
The only reason that courts in MI can have their no gun rules is that they (the MI supreme court) claim to be outside of the legislatures sphere of control when it comes to setting rules of conduct. Are we now supposed to believe the same thing about schools?

How are schools like courts?  They have metal detectors and multiple armed LEOs there all the time?  Also what mosnar said.

Ah, the spaghetti philosophy.  Throw a bunch at a wall and see what sticks.
