Library Drafts Weapons Policy After Saying No to Request for Gun Safety Class

Patrons in Michigan can legally carry concealed weapons into the public library, so long as they have a permit, but when a request was made to use the Chelsea District Library\’s facilities to hold a gun-safety class, the library declined. The situation prompted them to draft a weapons policy, which \”bars library staff from carrying concealed weapons while on official business, wherever they are.\” When Michigan passed the concealed weapons law, libraries were not included on the list of \”pistol-free zones.\” More from Ann Arbor News.
