Bill Aims to Ban Weapons From Libraries

Nevada Democrats are proposing giving library managers authority to enforce weapons bans at their facilities. State senators on a judicial panel voted 4-3 along party lines Thursday to advance Senate Bill 115. The proposal would prohibit firearms, explosive devices, knives, clubs and paint guns from public libraries, without the governing board giving written permission. Michelle Flores sued after she was banned from the Las Vegas Rainbow Library after refusing requests to leave, because she was openly carrying a gun.
