reserve peace officer certification in conjunction with their

employment as city or municipality personnel.

E. Any city or municipality personnel who have successfully

completed either training and while acting in a reasonable and

prudent manner shall be immune from civil and criminal liability for

any injury resulting from the carrying of a handgun onto city or

municipality property as provided in this act. Any municipality,

city council, board of trustees or participating local law

enforcement agency shall be immune from civil and criminal liability

for any injury resulting from any act committed by the city or

municipality personnel who are designated to carry a concealed

handgun on public city or municipality property pursuant to the

provisions of this act.

F. In order to carry out the provisions of this section, the

city council or board of trustees of a city or municipality is
