Michigan - District Libraries Cannot Ban Open Carry

[JJVP]

In Capitol Area District Library v Michigan Open Carry, Inc, the Michigan Court of Appeals barred the Capitol Area District Library (the “CADL”) from enforcing its ban on openly carrying firearms into its libraries. The Court held that MCL 123.1102 completely occupies the field of firearm regulation and, therefore, CADL’s policy was preempted.

Nice, but surprising ruling.
