A recent court ruling that allows a father to openly carry his gun in a Michigan elementary school has bolstered the confidence of plaintiffs who filed a similar suit against Ann Arbor Public Schools.
In April, Michigan Gun Owners and Ann Arbor parent Ulysses Wong filed a lawsuit against the district and Superintendent Jeanice Swift, claiming policies the Board of Education enacted in the spring that effectively ban guns from schools violate Michigan law.
The policies and subsequent lawsuit stem from a March 5 incident...
While state law prevents people from carrying concealed firearms on school property, individuals with concealed pistol licenses can openly carry their firearms in schools. |

Michigan needs to fix this law. Since anyone who wishes to carry on to school property must have a concealed weapons license, the license isn't the issue, the issue is the panic open carry causes in an elementary school environment.
The fact of the matter is that young kids and their teaches absolutely freak out at the sight of an unidentified man openly carrying a gun in their midst.
While I understand the sentiment that all people SHOULD be accepting of guns openly carried in their midst, the effect of this law is unacceptable.
The license is for concealed carry. The prohibition viz concealed v. open should be reversed, and concealed carry with a license should be permitted instead of open carry, in schools. |

| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
