I have found that the City Of Royal Oak is attempting to ban Firearms from Public Buildings by asking for the Michigan Legislature to amend MCL 123.1102 to give local units of government the discretion to enact and
enforce ordinances that make local public buildings gun-free zones.
Please see the following Agenda Item for the August 16th City Commission Meeting:
http://www.ci.royal-oak.mi.us/portal/sites/default/files/meetings/City Commission/2010/0816-19.pdf
This resolution relies upon perceived non-attendance of the public at the City Commission Meetings and First Amendment infringements in accordance with the Michigan Open Meetings Act. This is interesting as I believe many who spoke at the City Commission Meetings said they were concerned about guns but STILL WERE PRESENT AND SPOKE. The factual information appears to contradict the claims of the City Attorney.

Please review this information and take the appropriate action.
