The only place in town that has told me in person and on their written policy letter that guns were not allowed by non-LEO's was our local library. Since they are a publicly funded entity (a local taxing district) I would think that they are pre-empted from making such a restriction. But, the state code only specifically restricts cities and counties from making gun control laws. So, the question is can the libraries keep my guns out?
