She will only allow guns on the first floor of City Hall. She did away with the police escort and will have a police officer stationed by the elevator to make sure no one armed goes to the upper floors.
And how do they propose to do that?
Will everyone be wanded, or run through a metal detector?
And the better-than-you commissioners object to coming through the front door like everyone else.
But the city attorney says that'd only be for the first week or so... :mad:

Commissioner Keith James wanted reassurance that guns wouldn’t be brought up to his office on the second floor.
“In no way a constituent can meet me with me in my office with a gun whether he has a license or not?” James asked
That’s correct, the attorney said.
Waaaahhh. Maybe he should be a better public servant, so he's not afraid of the people he works for.
And that attorney should be disbarred, since she doesn't know the law & is giving bad advice, urging people to break the law. How can she claim that CITY offices somehow aren't public?
If it's a public employee, the office is publicly accessable.

Interesting... this article says that every visitor (citizen-owner) to city hall will be required to sign in.
Surely that's another of those 'chilling effects'.

The mayor has the gall...:
“We’re not going to hassle anyone,” Muoio said. “Anyone is welcomed into city hall, and we will comply with state law.”
Everything else she's quoted as saying shows that she does intend to hassle people, & certain types of people are not welcome.

The new city hall EO took effect today. I haven't had a chance to go by to check the new rule out yet. From the article, I'm not sure if they still require a police escort or not.
Two questions. Can they require you to sign in when you enter? Can they ask to see or verify your CCW permit when you enter?

So long as they apply the log signing to everyone, CWFL holder or not, I'm unaware of any reason why not. As to asking to see your CWFL, you must first pass through a metal detector. If you are carrying, you will set it off. At this point, it becomes fuzzy. There is no reasonable suspicion that you are committing a crime, but statute says a law enforcement officer can demand to see your license. A security guard? Not so much.
