Were I governor, I’d propose an exception for secured facilities with magnetometers to screen for guns, and a gun-check desk so that patrons would not have to leave guns in cars. Private property owners who invite the public would still be free to choose policies, but must have appropriate and expensive facilities (like sprinkler systems, wheelchair ramps, etc.)

And make private property owners strictly liable for the criminal acts of others if they exclude guns.

Make it clear that violating a “no gun rule” is not a crime, and the only involvement of the government is to take action against trespassers who refuse to leave when asked.

The feds and their facilities are “special” under the law, so disarmament can’t be stopped there. But let it be know that no state official or facility will be used in enforcing, apprehending, or incarcerating anyone violating a federal facility gun ban.

And perhaps criminalize the carrying of guns by federal officials outside of their duties/facility, unless they have a state citizen carry license. (still working on this one)

How about a "Carrying While Intoxicated" law? If you are otherwise detained and found to be carrying AND blow more than 0.08 you can be disarmed (pick it up in the morning at the poice station) and charged with a misdemeanor.
