In April, <br />Governor Pawlenty signed the Act into law which went into effect May 28, 2003. <br /> <br />The number of pennit holders is expected to grow from the current 12,000 to 90,000 during <br />the next two years, and the law removes the authority of municipalities to post signage which <br />prohibits concealed weapons, this means guns can be carried into City Hall, Council <br />meetings and recreation facilities and all other municipal property. <br /> <br />For Council's review, Staff has enclosed the League of Minnesota Cities Personal Protection <br />Act of 2003 Fact Sheet, a draft Resolution stating the City Council's opposition to certain <br />provisions in the Act, and finally, a draft Work Place Violence Policy. <br />
