Anyone ever have any experience or interaction with the "security" staff at Macomb County Community College. I have a relative who wants to attend class there and he is also wanting to exercise his right to carry. He is in the process of getting his CPL (attended class and the application is waiting approval).
Against my better judgement (never ask permission to assert a right) he called the security office to find out if they were aware that OC is legal with a CPL on their campus. He was told by the head of security. "Any student or visitor to the campus that was caught carrying a weapon open or closed would be arrested, expelled and banned form their property immediately."
When he attempted to explain the OC law to them, their response was to tell him. "I'm not gonna debate you when you are WRONG and don't know what you are talking about! Just go ahead and try to bring a gun on our campus and you can debate it when we call the police on you and you are sitting in handcuffs."
At which point the security office promptly hung up on him
What would be the next step here? Send these guys some trifolds? Carry anyway? Hand deliver copies of the law while OC? Would the student handbook regulate his actions? What about visitors?
He is nervous now and dosen't want to provoke them into an incident. I told him you need to stand up for your rights. His question was would I bail him out of jail if he gets arrested? My response was "Yes"
Not sure what to do at the moment. I want to help him out but also make the college aware they are a publicy funded college therefore to the best of my understanding (I could very well be wrong) they CANNOT refuse OC to students and visitors.
Seeking your advice and enlightenment.
Thanks
