i did. no reply yet.
While still a resident of Michigan, I took it upon myself to contact them about that ordinance.
Their reply was that the last section, about persons authorized by the state to carry, was added after the issue was previously raised. Their intention of the ordinance is to prevent minors, drinkers, druggers, and felons from carrying in their city. I told them that federal law already prohibits such things and they said that was the way it was going to stay.
So, from my perspective, they have no intentions of dealing with people unless they are suspected of being a minor, drunk, high, or a convict.
Well I am available for a council meeting if needed, but the evidence seems good that this will be dealt with quickly.
