Republicans in the state Senate introduced legislation that would allow law-abiding adults to conceal carry firearms without a license.

Senate Bills 489-492 would repeal the current requirement to obtain a concealed pistol license for individuals who are not otherwise prohibited from possessing a pistol and allow concealed carry without a license where either open-carry or concealed-pistol license holders are currently allowed to do so.

SBs 489-492 were referred to the Senate Government Operations Committee for consideration.


“There is no evidence that these current laws actually keep us safer,” said Sen. Tom Barrett, R-Charlotte. “Individuals already undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm and these bills do not stop that requirement. Instead, this forced government revenue stream requires law-abiding citizens to jump through hoops to exercise their constitutional rights.”

The right to keep and bear arms is protected under Article 1, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution. While Michigan is a so-called “shall issue” state, residents must first complete a state approved pistol training course, submit their fingerprints to a state database, and pay a $100 application fee in order to receive a concealed pistol license. The license expires after five years, and license holders must pay $115 to renew a license.

They couldn't get their recent voting laws out of a republican led committee.

There  a few republicans that are OK, the majority of them are mugwumps.  They get all ballsy when they have a snowball's chance in hell of getting anything signed into law and they act like the demonrats when they can actually pass laws and get them signed.

Remember the 8 years under Snyder?  No enhanced CPL and Snyder wouldn't get rid of handgun registration because the MESTAPO chiefs told him they liked it.  Plus they raised taxes numerous times.

Hey now. I didn't vote for her.

Similar to what Snyder did. And then his cronies in the senate on your beloved team didn't want to upset him by overturning his veto.

Michigan will never get constitutional carry. Michigan will never get rid of registration.

Just how it is.

Nothing will change as long as you insist on being an Eyore.


People used to say that "we'll never get suppressors in Michigan". People used to say that "We'll never get Concealed Carry in Michigan". People use to say "We'll never get Class 3 items in MI". The people that got that done in Michigan weren't the ones sitting on their couch sounding like a sad donkey in a cartoon-they interfaced with their state legislators and rubbed elbows at fundraisers. That's how you get the change you want.

We have a system of government where we send people to represent us in matters of Government. If you never take the time to tell them what you expect of them, they will not address it-especially if the media lies to them about what their constituents want.

Have you ever written a letter?

Many. And email, phone, and driving to Lansing and visiting in person.
Back when I was still under the delusion that they listened to peasants or cared.

The only way to get Constitutional Carry is to move out of Michigan.
