Titled: Libraries vs. guns

The words are still there in red on the Ferndale Public Library's front door.

"Absolutely no weapons including those permitted by concealed weapons law may be brought into this facility."

The statement remains, even though the courts have said the rule is not enforceable for properly registered concealed weapons.

In 2001, Ferndale's City Council took a bold stand and voted to ban guns from its city buildings.

The move - called groundbreaking by some - spurred other cities to take similar stands. Soon Detroit, East Lansing, Saline and others had passed their own bans.

Two words. Civil Disobedience.
