Arizona -(Ammoland.com)- – On Friday, June 27th, Karen Spranger went to work as the County Clerk in Macomb County, Michigan. When she arrived at 0730, the metal detection machinery and the armed guards had been removed. She had filed a lawsuit to make this occur. She had not been notified it would happen.
In Michigan, public buildings are not allowed to forbid the exercise of Second Amendment rights, with an exception for court rooms or other official space used for official court business.
Security measures at the Macomb County Clerk and Register of Deeds office at the Talmer building in Mount Clemens have been removed as a result of court action filed by Clerk Karen Spranger that targeted the county’s policy on weapons-free zones.
The Macomb County Office of County Executive ordered the removal of the metal detector, X-ray machines and three security guards assigned to the building, Spranger announced Tuesday.
“The three full-time security guards are good people, but their wages and benefits are simply a waste of the Macomb County taxpayers’ money,” she said in a release sent by her private attorney, Frank Cusumano.
Two other buildings in the county have metal detectors and armed guards. They are the Macolmb County Circuit Court and the county Administration building. The Circuit Court likely falls under the court room exception for gun free zones.
The county Administration building may be another illegal gun free zone.
It cost $40,000 for the equipment. Three guards, full time, probably cost $250,000 a year per building in “security” costs. As has often been said,

Feel free to use my own posts against me and show me where I said one thing that even resembles “pro-(some)-gun control. My last 1,000 rounds would indicate I have superb control. Plus I understand the US Constitution’s Bill Rights as well.
Point to you ONLY if you are referring to keeping armed people off your PRIVATE property. In which case, those who refuse are guilty only of trespassing, not any "Gun Crime".
"You think you have an unlimited right to carry?"
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Apparently, you disagree. Therefore, pro-(some)-gun control.
"[A]t least half of the people entering a courthouse may have had their carry rights revoked and that is somethig (sic) worth screening for."
That you admit of the possibility, without decrying the tyranny behind it, seals the deal: you are pro-(some)-gun control.
No further response will be forthcoming.
You keep talking about some unlimited right to carrying then admit I can keep you from carrying on my property. You don’t get to carry into your employer either if they tell you you cannot. So can any other business. Obviously it is not an unlimited right to carry and gets impinged on all the time.
A state courthouse can keep you from carrying if so prohibited by state law and that is not a violation of the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights. Do you consider that gun control?
Hey guys, my RKBA ping list that you wanted pinged decide to hide from me. I’ll “find” it by tomorrow.
