MI: Republicans want to let Michigan gun owners carry concealed pistols without license
After Michigan Democrats outlined their vision for gun control in the state with newly passed laws, Senate Republicans have recently introduced their own firearm proposals.
The GOP legislation would repeal sections of Michigan law that makes it a felony to carry a concealed firearm without a concealed pistol license, otherwise known as “constitutional carry.”
Lead bill sponsor Lana Theis, R-Brighton, said in a press release that the legislation would remove a barrier for Michigan residents so they are better able protect themselves in case of emergency.
“Danger can strike at any moment,” Theis said. “Now, more than ever, it is essential that law-abiding citizens be prepared to protect themselves and their families. With crime and lawlessness on the rise, residents shouldn’t have to ask permission to better defend themselves.”
In addition to removing the requirement for an individual to obtain a concealed pistol license, Theis’ bill would also do away with supposed “safe zones” where one without a license could concealed carry in places like their homes or businesses.
