A Fife Lake village council member blamed excessive restrictions for the board’s decision to shoot down a proposed weapons policy.
Board members voted unanimously against the policy Monday, which would have banned village employees and elected officials from possessing firearms on village-owned properties and work sites, said Trustee Brian Hayes.
State law allows residents to tote weapons on government grounds with the proper permitting and licenses, he said. Law allows government officials to enact weapons restrictions only on government employees and elected officials. Such a ban would have only impacted the village’s 12 employees.
“It seemed kind of futile to develop a policy,” he said. |

"Township Clerk Terry Street formerly worked as a school principal and administrator and reviewed several weapons policies. He agreed something needed to be in place, he said."
Even in small town northern Michigan, "education professionals" (and retirees) are knee-jerk progressive tyrants. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
