COA ruled in favor of MOC!!!
Below is a link to the Opinion of dissenting judge Elizabeth L. Gleicher:

". . . while the express language of the statute fails to include a district library among its definition of local units of government, the legislative history supports a finding that the purpose of the statute would only be served by leaving it to the state to regulate firearm possession in all buildings established by local units of government, including district libraries."
In fact the language in the above quote is so strong as relates to State completely occupying the field of regulating firearms, that I believe that firearm ordinances established by Schools and Universities are now also null and void. This is my personal opinion.
Appreciate it - everything falls into place now.
+1 Does this Appeals court decision serve as binding precedent for the entire State? (excuse my judicial ignorance). For sure the above quote would be great if the Michigan Supreme Court would only say so as well. I wonder whether or not CADL will appeal. I half hope so (so they can get spanked more forcefully), if not for the associated cost to MOC in fighting the next level.
Yes this is binding state-wide.
