The highest court in Michigan is set to hear arguments Wednesday on whether a person has the right to openly carry guns on school property; a case getting considerable attention in the wake of the Florida school massacre nearly two months ago.
At issue is a case that's been on the court's docket for more than a year, stemming from a 2015 incident involving a man with a concealed-carry permit who brought a gun to a school concert at Ann Arbor Pioneer High School. Some students, staff and spectators were scared by the incident, which caused the school board to ban all guns on school grounds, with exceptions for police.
That local action spurred a legal fight that's now landed with the state's supreme court; because while Michigan law does not allow people to possess a gun inside gun-free school zones, someone with a concealed permit can enter school property with a gun that's openly holstered. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/04/09/right-to-carry-guns-in-schools-case-headed-to-michigan-supreme-court.html |
