Others urging state action are Heidelberg, Brentwood, Baldwin, Charleroi, Ambler, Easton, York, Swarthmore, West Conshohocken, Bridgeport, Catasauqua, Sharon Hill and West Chester, and Abington, Radnor and Upper Merion townships.

That’s one of the nice thing about our constitution here in Michigan. It makes our gun rights stand in every county and city in the state.

It's not the Michigan Constitution, it's the preemption law that was passed in 1990 that does that.

There is still a patchwork quilt of knife laws in Michigan, because there is no statewide preemption law in place (yet.)

Ambler, Easton, Swarthmore, West Conshohocken, Abington, Radnor and Upper Merion townships...

Wealthy liberals. WASPs, Jews and academics.

Went to the Ft. Lauderdale gun show this past Sat.

Came out with a nice Bowie Knife. Always wanted one.
