There is another "next step" if a concerted effort is made to address those illegal ordinances and signs... and a list is compiled of how many, and which, municipalities complied with State law........................ and how many, but more importantly which, municipalities elected to continue to break State law.... and that list can be used to show lawmakers in Lansing that there really IS a problem with municipalities engaging in intentional passive enforcement of illegal ordinances/signs.Worse yet, even if you know to ignore the sign, some busy-body or soccer-mom may not... they see the sign, then see your firearm, then decide to either A.) confront you or B.) call the po-po....
I think the fight to get the signs down is a good one, though I understand what Phil says... if they say "no" then what is the next step.... the next step takes $$$
Won't cost much to compile a list.... but it will cost each and every individual who is willing to put their time and their own dime on the line to go out and confront those municipalities with illegal ordinances/signs... yet that cost is still a lot less than a full blown court case. The question is... how many of us are willing to get out there attending council meetings and actually demand municipalities comply with the law?
(My admiration and respect is extended to all those who already have taken it upon themselves to attend council meetings and address illegal ordinances/signs!)
And since lapeer20m has started a thread asking for how many municipalities have complied with State law in reference to illegal ordinances/signs
http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/s...-have-removed-signs-and-or-changed-ordinances
perhaps that "list" is about to come into being. And perhaps when our lawmakers are presented with factual evidence that municipalities are in violation of the law it will spur them to get off their collective asses and actually do something to force local units of government to obey the law... just like those local units demand us "common folk" obey the law.
And, because the issue really isn't about guns but truly is about local government not obeying State law, perhaps that list can be used to "leak" to the media how many municipal council officials (and who they are too) think they don't have to obey State law.
Edited to add...
The above sounds all good and everything... but maybe it is just wishful thinking on my part. But I do wish folks would think about it!
