I meant it should be brought to the city attornery instead of the chief of police.
If brought to the city council, they'll recommend getting a opinion from the city attorney before they do anything about it

You're missing the point. The city attorney doesn't work for or answer to you. The city council does.

I believe he meant that the Council should take it to the City Attorney for a reading of the law. I think that's a slikely as the Police Chief to go our way but wierder things have happened.
Of course, I could be worng. If JimC had posted his complete thought we wouldn't have to guess.

I realize that, but City Councils won't do anything without consulting their City attorney when it comes to law issues. That's how they think & work.
I've had personal experiences dealing with them

Well, I got a phone call from the Becker Police Chief last week. He was actually very friendly and thanked me for bringing the issue up. He started by saying that he had discussions with the Sherburne County attorney. Their concern was in regards to the occasional school sponsored events that were held there. The county attorney said it was legal for them to post when those events were being held. The Chief said that the sign would most likely be coming down. I'm not holding my breath, since as of Thursday night @ 7:30pm it was still up. I will keep checking back to see if it really does.
There was some strange conversation in the middle though...
Chief: Why were you inquiring about this?
Me: I have a permit to carry and I found the sign confusing.
Chief: A general permit or a conceal carry permit?
Me: A permit to carry.
<Pause>
Overall, it was a very good experience. He also mentioned that he learned a few things and he was going to share it with his officers. So mission accomplished from the teaching opportunity aspect. I think it was an eye opener for the manager of the community center, as the Chief told me he asked him "Why would anyone need to bring a gun in here?" The Chief replied, "Because they went through the trouble to get training and get a background check, they must have a good reason for having a permit."

I'd like to think there's a "hearts and minds" opportunity here, but I suspect I'll be lambasted as part of the anti problem, or worse.
You've initiated a very constructive dialog, with a LE official who is obviously a bit confused.
This is a perfect opportunity to bring a leadership figure in Law Enforcement over to our side or...

Sounds like education and a calm honest approach have paid dividends. Well done. Quote: 609.66 subd 1d 4 iv: https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/bin ... num=609.66(iv) that portion of a building or facility under the temporary, exclusive control of a public or private school, a school district, or an association of such entities where conspicuous signs are prominently posted at each entrance that give actual notice to persons of the school-related use. Sounds like only the specific portion under exclusive control or use, and temporary signs would work.
