Michigan Moves One Step Closer

[Jeepster48439]

Gov. Snyder signed legislation last week that eliminated County Gun Boards and puts the approval process for CPLs in the hands of the State Police and requires County Clerks to issue.

Genesee County gun board will be no more, clerk and state police will issue concealed pistol licenses

This is good news

Freedom is slowly on the march in the heartland. Let's keep pressing on!

 

[The Keymaster]

Yeah, but gun registration is still a fact in Michigan. I don't see that going away any time soon.

Step by step.

It may take 10 or 20 years, just look how long it took Illinois to finally get concealed carry, but it HAPPENED. Never ever give up! Increased freedom is always worth the fight.

They came close until Sandy Hook happened and the coward governor lost his nerve. If the cops would just get out of the way on this they could pass it.

Nuts. Double-posted. See below.

Don't give Gov. Snyder too much credit. He didn't sign (or vetoed, don't recall which) this bill the first time around recently. As well as vetoing a school carry bill in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting. He had the opportunity to turn the national narrative upside down, but did not. Glad they got it done, but the MI legislature deserves far more credit than Snyder.

I spend a good bit of time in Michigan and plan to retire there in a few years. As long as they have gun registration, I will stay an Indiana resident to avoid this nonsense. I know several gun owners in Michigan, many of them don't think that gun registration is intrusive to their rights. I think the fact that one can open carry without a permit gives many a false sense of freedom and makes them willing to trade one good for one evil. Just my$.02

They said the Cubs would win the World Series before Chicago allowed concealed Carry.........

Glad that wasn't the case. I don't think the Cubs have a world series in the future in at least the next 75 years.

I grew up in Michigan and never saw anyone carrying a hand gun. Did see lots of shotguns and rifles in truck gun racks, especially around hunting season. As an adult I see the irony. And the stupidity. Slowly getting better for my home state.

I plan to retire and move FROM Michigan.

What I came to Michigan 25 years ago I was shocked at the restrictions to gun rights.
Such as,
the pistol registration requirement,
the fact that rifled pellet pistols much be registered,
those silly county gun boards,

What shocked me most was that many non-gun-owning Michigan residents assume that all firearms are registered.

Probably all thanks to Detroit and their crime problems.
