Is this within the Constitution of the State, or just a statute?

Never mind, found the answer... The question then comes first, are the counties/cities the subjects of the state, or is the state the hired assistants of the counties/cities?

Of course that has no bearing that all gun laws are immoral and wrong. The people have the inalienable right to carry hidden or not.

Well, the state preemption of local regulation is a statute, but, we also have in our Constitution of 1963 the following section:

Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state.

I think that between the two, it's pretty clear that Ferndale's attempt to bar licensed CCW from public property will not stand. However, we need the lawsuit and lawyers to convince judges to smack the City Council back into its place. I'm confident that this ordinance (and its costly defense!) will be made an issue in the next Ferndale election...
