Through our legal counsel Outside Legal Counsel, PLC, Michigan Open Carry, Inc. has agreed to a very one-sided settlement of our Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the City of Harbor Beach.
Yesterday, we let you know about an old law that we were able to get rid of in SB 219 (Ancient Time Bomb in Michigan Firearm Law Defused). Today, we would like to tell you about something else we were able to get into the bill.
Until yesterday, you could only apply for a Concealed Pistol License once per calendar year. For most of us, this wasn't a big deal as we've never had a problem from our county clerk, however, it has been a big problem for some.
The repeal of the oldest active Michigan gun law was made effective today with Senate Bill 219, now Public Act 95 of 2017, going into effect. The bill makes numerous minor tweaks to the concealed pistol licensing statute; however, it also makes one major change to a law that was so dangerous, we've purposely kept quiet about it ... until now.
* Please note that while Package #2 has seen movement, NOTHING HAS BEEN ENACTED into law yet. See this video on the legislative process. There is still much work to be done and MOC strongly recommends that people still apply for and renew their licenses, and that is very likely to continue even if some of this legislation is enacted.
Why Do Gun Control Proponents Keep Proposing Irrelevant “Solutions”?
Recently in a Detroit Free Press op-ed, Michigan State Rep. Jon Hoadley (left) shamelessly used the recent spree killing in Kalamazoo to push legislation of his and others that would have done absolutely nothing to stop the killer.
