LANSING — The area’s state senator introduced proposed legislation Tuesday eliminating “gun-free” areas where licensed individuals currently are banned from carrying concealed weapons.

Current state law has designated certain areas to be gun-free public zones, including schools, hospitals, sports stadiums, university dorms and classrooms, day care centers, churches and casinos.

“We are constitutionally able to defend ourselves when we need it, yet we lose our constitutional right when we walk into the door of a gun-free zone,” Green told the Associated Press.

That's for sure, I vote too. I'm afraid they are going to try it anyhow. Just don't want to wait another 10 years for it to go away again, and that's if they don't make it permanent.

If they get another AWB or even just a magazine ban you can be 100% certain it will NOT come with an expiration date. They will have learned from the prior mistake. And it will be bigger in scope also.

It's not going over well in some states:


Maine: Proposed Ban on Ammunition Magazine Defeated


On Thursday, January 27, the Maine Legislature's Legislative Council defeated a measure proposed by state Representative Anne Haskell (D-117), which would have banned the sale of ammunition magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition. Since the proposal was requested after the January 7 deadline, the ten person Legislative Council needed to approve the measure before it could be considered by the legislature. The measure failed by a 5 to 5 vote.
