As with other levels of government, those in control of local governments are, for the most part, members of the clerisy, a self-selected elite who see their role as ruling the rest of us for our own good. For such people, law is a tool to keep us in line. That they too should be bound by it is something they'll ignore as much as possible. This routinely manifests itself in small and large ways in the operation of local governments.

Unless the legislature gives aggrieved license holders a private cause of action (say, a $1,000 fine and reasonable court costs and attorneys fees), local governments will indefinitely obstruct application of handgun laws to themselves. I seriously doubt the legislature would create such a cause of action, and if it did, local officials would still drag things out for a long time.
