I stopped into the City Clerk's office for Battle Creek today to get an absentee ballot and I noticed their "No Weapons" sign. Interestingly I'm not sure it goes against pre-emption but I'm going to throw it up here and see who shoots at it.
I couldn't get a pic but the sign essentially asks people to not bring weapons including firearms, even concealed, into the building. Here's the odd part...it then goes on to say that if you are suspected or found to be in possession of a firearm you may be required to be accompanied by a police officer while in the building.
It doesn't prohibit you from entering, it asks you not to enter and it doesn't say you can't be in there with a firearm only that you may be required to have a baby-sitter while there.
I also checked and there are no court offices in the building.
I'm tempted to call them before I drop off my ballot and tell them I'll be carrying and to have an officer waiting there to escort me.
