Notice the title, Local Regulation of Firearms, Ammunition, andFirearm Accessories
There are two main points to this post.
First, as it stands right now a private entity can rent, lease or organize an event on government property and preempt the state legislature's will by declaring government property a GFZ.
I have no problem with private property rights. If a property owner doesn't want my business and declares his property a GFZ, so be it. That is his privilege just like he doesn't have to serve blacks at his lunch counter. If a private entity rents a vacant grocery store (private property) for a gun show and declare it a GFZ, fine.
If government property is used then the property falls under the authority of the people. The people's elected officials have supposedly preempted local government from declaring GFZs.
Second, any State entity can make an Administrative rule and declare their properly a GFZ.
The DNR has done this on all of their ranges and many of us have stopped using properties that we pay for.
We need to write to our representatives and get this law amended.
