After Iowa State student Natalie Gibson sued Ames Oct. 13 in Story County District Court, CyRide Transit Director Barbara Neal’s Nov. 5 memo, approved immediately by the board, allows open or concealed lawful firearm carry on buses. Staff may not deny service, eject passengers, summon police, demand permits, or handle firearms solely for lawful possession, while threat and violence procedures remain. Iowa Code Section 724.28 generally bars cities from regulating otherwise lawful firearm possession, carrying, and transport; the reversal does not find a violation or settle Gibson’s claims, including damages.
