So, back in March, MGO and MOC reps at a Womens Expo were told to remove their open carried firearms from DeVos Place.
In conjunction with their response to the MOC/MGO lawsuit, SMG has said they will put up signs spelling out the ban on weapons at DeVos Place convention center and DeVos Performance Hall. SMG is a management company hired by the Grand Rapids-Kent County Convention/Arena Authority, formed by Grand Rapids and Kent County by public act. The buildings themselves are owned by the Grand Rapids City-County Building Authority.
Here is the MI statute that lists prohibited places, AND the ever so helpful EXCEPTIONS, specifically subsection 2, line C: A person licensed by this state or another state to carry a concealed weapon.
Now, being that DeVos and Van Andel Arena are both owned by a governmental authority, it's pretty clear that MI statute 123.1102 (aka: Preemption) comes into play. It seems clear cut, but as we saw in the Deffert case, the judges around here can be morons.

DeVos Place doubles down on it's illegal ban of firearms.
