MGO SUCCEEDS IN DEFENDING YOUR RIGHTS!
MICHIGAN COURT OF CLAIMS AFFIRMS THAT SECRETARY OF STATE BENSON LACKS LEGAL BASIS TO PROHIBIT FIREARMS AT POLLING PLACES
Michigan Gun Owners (MGO), a 501(c)(3) Michigan non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the rights of Michigan citizens, as enumerated in the Second Amendment and Article 1, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution, along with Michigan Open Carry (MOC) and Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners (MCRGO) filed suit against Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State for issuing an illegal and unconstitutional directive in an attempt to suppress the constitutionally protected rights of certain voters.
On October 16, 2020, Jocelyn Benson issued a directive ordering all local election officials to post signage at the entrance of the building where the polling place is located, as well as at entry of the room of the polling place. This signage states that the open carrying of a firearm is prohibited in a polling place.
Today, Michigan Court of Claims Judge Christopher Murray affirmed our argument that Secretary Benson lacks legal basis to make up her own rules/laws where firearms at the polls are concerned. Judge Murry granted our request for immediate injunctive relief, meaning Benson's edict is invalid and is not enforceable.
Michigan Attorney General, Dana Nessel has already issued a statement indicating that the defendants intend to file an immediate appeal to today's ruling, thus further wasting tax payer's dollars on trying to circumvent the Legislative Branch of government in their ongoing attempt to allow the Executive Branch to create their own laws and rules.
We sincerely hope that there will be no incidents of actual voter intimidation at the polls, or worse yet, violence of any type. We do not condone the use of firearms for illegal purposes of any kind. However, we are very pleased with the Court of Claims ruling today, protecting the rights of LAW ABIDING citizens of Michigan. We will continue to fight the Executive Branch's push to circumvent the Legislative Branch and restrict/revoke the rights of law abiding citizens by appealing this decision.
