I have just started investigating this question and have not found a definitive source yet but I am thinking that any prohibition by the city commission would not be in compliance with state law.
Anybody else have a different opinion on this? I am not asking about your opinion on guns in general (although you are welcome to share them). I am mainly interested in whether a prohibition (if one exists) violates state laws.
For reference these are the Michigan pistol free zones from the State Police Site.

City hall isn't included and from what I have read the only way it possibly could be is if it has a courtroom attached to it.
Democracy and liberty are not the same. Democracy is little more than mob rule, while liberty refers to the sovereignty of the individual.
