Delete comment from: The War on Guns
"Touted by supporters as a sweeping victory for Second Amendment rights, the bill allows concealed weapons to be carried into and around the Iowa Capitol by anyone with a gun permit. It also includes a paragraph that says anyone adversely effected by a local "ordinance, measure, enactment, rule, resolution, motion or policy" may sue for damages if their gun rights are usurped. That appears to be contrary to a 2003 opinion from the attorney general that Iowa cities and counties may pass weapons restrictions for the property they own."
Gee... I am not a lawyer, but it would appear that a bit of recent preemption legislation signed by the Governor trumps a decade-old opinion by the Attorney General. Details of laws matter.
