Gov. Rick Snyder May Allow Concealed Carry Permits For Accused Domestic Abusers.

[elleng]

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) is considering signing a bill into law that would allow some accused domestic abusers with restraining orders issued against them to obtain a concealed carry gun permit.

Under current law in Michigan, when a personal protective order (PPO) is issued against a person for domestic violence, that person is disqualified from having a concealed carry permit. But Senate Bill 789, passed by the Michigan state legislature in December, states that if a person is legally allowed to purchase or possess a firearm under the terms of the PPO issued against them, they must also be allowed to carry the firearm concealed.

The bill also eliminates county gun licensing boards, which gun rights advocates believed were taking too long to process applications for concealed carry permits, and reduces the maximum wait time for permits from 60 days to 45 days.

1. because this is going to make Florida a better state to live in.

They must have a lot of domestic abusers to have a lobby for that.

2. It won't matter much to Florida but it sure won't help Michigan.

4. but will he allow

those convicted of marijuana possession and sale have those same rights?

Or are only violent offenders forgiven?

what a f'd up world we live in.

5. Interesting that while this is happening, the entire state of Michigan is pissed off at a "bad" call

by a referee in a football game.

Thanks for the update, elleng. Wonder what will happen in Ohio the next few days, while everyone is wrapped up with the Buckeyes in the National Championship game?

6. Yes, mad, its interesting.

My family in Dayton is, as you might expect, pretty wrapped up with the Buckeyes these days!
