Mr. xxxxxxxx,
A local unit of government can restrict firearms in their government buildings for security purposes. They cannot create criminal violations for those restrictions.

(I probably could have worded my question a bit better... I guess I should have saved it as a document and re-proofed it a different day)
Does the Michigan preemptive law prevent county/city from prohibiting firearms within county buildings if the person carrying the firearm is in full compliance with Michigan and federal law?
To my understanding the Preemptive law, does not allow lesser 'governments' to create oridances or laws that modify state and/or federal law.
Thank you.
