Here is the video of me speaking to the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government council back in January:

Here is the video of me testifying before the Kentucky Senate Judiciary Committee, which was just a formality. They were already going to pass the bill.

The Kentucky Legislature passed HB 500, and the governor signed it into law on April 11th, 2012.

HB 500 adds penalties to KRS 65.870. Any elected official or unelected government employee violating KRS 65.870 is now guilty of official misconduct, with penalties up $500 and a year in jail. Anyone found guilty of violating KRS 65.870 will also be required to pay the attorney fees and expert witness fees of the plaintiff. These are personal penalties. Those guilty of official misconduct are not eligible to have the penalties paid by our tax dollars. Official misconduct is not a function of government, although it certainly looks that way far too often.
I spoke to the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government council again last night (Thursday, April 12th, 2012) concerning the metal detector in front of the mayor's suite of offices. They use this metal detector to illegally deprive Kentuckians of our right to bear arms.

As before, there was no discussion afterward. Just a perfunctory thank you and goodbye. Some of the city council looked worried this time, though. Official misconduct doesn't look good on your resume. The mayor looked very unhappy that I was pursuing this issue, and they can't do anything they like in "their city".
For you and me, ignorance of the thousands of laws is no excuse, but I don't see how the mayor or city council could plead ignorance after I went out of my way to educate them about the law, on two separate occasions, including passing out copies of the law to all of them, and spoon feeding it to them. At this point, I'd think that depriving citizens of our rights by using the metal detector to disarm those openly carrying a firearm is a deliberate, willful, and premeditated illegal act. Hopefully, they'll do the right thing and the LEGAL thing, and take down the illegal metal detector.
Thanks to gutshot for attending a very long and very boring council meeting tonight, so someone would have my back. I owe you one, pal.
