A Michigan Court of Claims Judge is gathering written arguments from both sides in a lawsuit over open carry guns at the polls and could hold an emergency hearing Tuesday afternoon.
The lawsuit was filed last week by gun rights attorneys challenging the ban that was imposed by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
Benson says she worked with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on the legality of the ban and it is designed to prevent voter intimidation on election day. It states no one can open carry a gun within 100 feet of a polling location next Tuesday.

YOU can't DO that, NYA-NYA!
Appeal? Get real. (Hey, that rhymed!)
The cops have already said they won't enforce it.
It's a loser, and you know it. Save your constituents the money of defending it, and lobby the legislature to ban it by law.
P.S. - I won't wish you luck. |

Some of the sheriffs have said they won't make illegal arrests, probably less than half of them.
In response, Nessel announced that she would send state troopers to make the arrests. (no, the AG is not the head of the state police)
But, unless a higher court stays the Court of Claims decision pending appeal, not even the state thugs will enforce the illegal edicts of Benson and Nessel. That's where the real fight will be, getting the Court of Claims decision left in force until Tuesday. If that doesn't happen, there will be some lawsuits flying because it appears that dozens or hundreds of activists will be OCing to the polls with or without court support. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
