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 |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
