As I read preemption, they don't even have a right to rent city property temporarily with a no guns clause. My suspicion is that they damn well knew it when they signed it.
I doubt they would try to prosecute anyone, but it seems like a feel good attempt to fool people. This forum has become quite a watchdog of self defense rights. Dare I say, it has filled in the MCRGO void, and without the need for professional lawyers, instead having well rounded activists.
I have electronic evidence (email) that the Royal Oak City Attorney, David Gilliam, was fully aware that MI Preemption caused one of their other ordinances to be partially unenforceable as of 10/01/2009 at 9:10:43 AM (Royal Oak Civil Emergencies Ordinance - 251). The contract between the City Of Royal Oak and ABE was signed on 12/08/2009.
Due to the interaction with scot623 and the delay in resolving Ordinance 251 issues, I believe that the City Attorney needs to called out in public - gently but firmly. It is my hope that we can accomplish this while bringing the issues to the attention of the City Commission.
