Thank you for all of your work on this, gutshot. Or should I say Mr. Gutshot?
When I contacted the Lexington Public Library several months ago concerning their anti-gun policy and signage, I encountered the same weasel dodge. "We're almost entirely funded by tax dollars, but we're a private entity with a separate library board so state laws don't apply to us." Yeah. Right. That'll last about ten seconds in a courtroom. If there was any justice, someone should be spanked and sent to bed without super for trying to pull a stunt like that.
You might have Ms. Cosper contact Martha White at the Lexington Public Library. Ms. White told me she would contact the chief administrator at the Kentucky Library Board as well as contacting their attorney. I don't know if she contacted the Kentucky library people, but their attorney told them that I was wrong, and then proceeded to tell them exactly what I had told them, that the library could prohibit concealed carry (if the city council had passed an ordinance), but they could not regulate open carry in any way and the policy and signs would need to be changed, which they did in fairly short order.
Ms. Cosper's reluctance to abide by KRS 65.870 would be a completely different matter if we haven't already had this same dance with over half of the libraries in Kentucky, and every time the library was compelled to comply with the relevant state law.
I met Bud Stevens, the Boyd County Judge Executive at the Ashland gun show where I had a table promoting the Kentucky Firearms Freedom Act. He was a stand up guy, and unashamedly pro-gun. He'd be an ally if it ever came to that.
I hate that we must always fight to keep our rights because there is always someone wanting to take them away, whether it's some Big Government socialist, or some self righteous "I know what's best for everyone" busy body. It's for the children. Don't you want to protect the children? :banghead:
