Ann Arbor Public Schools officials say they are prepared to meet the challenge of a lawsuit Michigan Gun Owners filed against the district, which claims a new weapons policy violates state laws.
On Monday, April 27, Michigan Gun Owners and Ann Arbor parent Ulysses Wong filed the suit against the district in Washtenaw County Circuit Court.
In April, the Ann Arbor school board passed three policies that effectively ban guns from school buildings and school property.
However, Michigan law allows concealed pistol license holders to openly carry guns in schools...
"Ann Arbor Public Schools does not have power to do what they have done," Wong said. "They were pretty much inviting a lawsuit." |

"Wong said he has not openly carried in a school and does not practice open carry, but he does advocate for it so a person without a CPL can defend him or herself."
Wong is misinformed. In order to open carry into a school, one must HAVE a CPL.
"State Rep. Jeff Irwin, D-Ann Arbor, said the group is pushing the extreme view that schools have no authority to maintain a safe and secure environment when it comes to guns."
They're exercising authority that hasn't been delegated to them by state law.
"'I applaud the school board for standing up for school safety,' he said."
What he really means is that he applauds the school board for breaking the law. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
