Which library? I recently handled the Rainbow Branch. The Branch Mgr there (Sufa Anderson, iirc) was extemely friendly, and once she realized that I was better prepared than her, she backed down and allowed me to return to my business. She later came out and showed me an internal document that stated the authority of the sign was 202.3673. I said "Awesome, that's what I thought you would say". Then I showed her a full written copy of the statute, and explained it, and why it was not relevent to OC. It was probably the best interaction I've had so far, and I told her so. She was extremely calm, friendly, and helpful. Like you'd expect from a library. She didn't like being recorded on Video, but acquiesced when I asked her if I was in a public building.

I even chatted with the security guard on the way out, and left him with a copy of the tri-fold for reference, so he knew he didn't have to hassle anyone else in the future. :)

That is the branch that last year almost got me shot for a empty holster. The guard was very aggressive, and on his gun etc. After I contacted the head of the lib she claimed the state allows them to make their own rules. And indeed there is a law that is vague and to the effect. The thread is on here someplace. We need to meet up so I can go in with you someday soon.
