I hope they appeal it to the Supreme Court

A state appeals court said people can't carry guns on Madison city buses.


“Applying the language of (the state statute) as written, we agree with the circuit court and the city that the statute plainly preempts only ‘ordinances’ and ‘resolutions,’ ” Judge Paul Lundsten wrote for the three-judge panel. “And, we agree, it is clear that the bus rule is not an ‘ordinance’ or ‘resolution’ under case law providing generally accepted meanings for those terms.”

So, a "rule" is not an ordinance or resolution. Therefore a municipality can simply restrict the carry of guns by creating "rules".

They are asking for an even stricter preemption law, one where the state occupies the entire field of gun law in the state.

Indeed it would seem your preemption law may need some strengthening.......and teeth.

This nothing other than legislating from the bench. :cuss:

Even if they can enforce it, what is the penalty for breaking the rule?
