This bill is long overdue and should be passed. One minor possible correction is to add to the following: SEC. 36. (1) A PERSON WHO LAWFULLY POSSESSES A FIREARM OR 16 AMMUNITION MAY TRANSPORT THAT FIREARM OR AMMUNITION IN A PRIVATELY 17 OWNED MOTOR VEHICLE OR STORE THAT FIREARM I think for clarity that it should say "owned or leased motor vehicle

This bill is badly needed to extend firearms rights to every citizen. A small addition would be in order, in my opinion: SEC. 36. (1) A PERSON WHO LAWFULLY POSSESSES A FIREARM OR 16 AMMUNITION MAY TRANSPORT THAT FIREARM OR AMMUNITION IN A PRIVATELY 17 OWNED MOTOR VEHICLE OR STORE THAT FIREARM I would suggest that the sponsors add "privately owned

This bill is long overdue; colleges and universities will be safer. We all appreciate the efforts by Senator Richardville and the other sponsors. Now we need to eliminate the remainder of prohibited areas (except courts).

This bill makes the Michigan definition of a pistol consistent with the federal definition of 26 inches. HB 5038 allows the owners of pistols in the 26-30 inch range to be grandfathered in, and it is mandatory that this bill be passed at the same time as HB 5037. Anyone who wishes to have a 26-30 inch pistol properly registered as a pistol must take

We don't need yet another privileged elite class. The Legislature should simply abolish the prohibited zones for all CPL licensees. Our record is almost perfect as far as the complete absence of misuse of our licenses. After eight years and 190,000 licensees, how much more proof is needed?

This bill is just one more example of nanny government intrusion into our private lives, and should never see the light of day.

MCRGO and NRA were fighting to get a "shall-issue" bill passed and we believed that compromise was the only way we could succeed. It is now clear how dangerous any "gun free zone"

SB 40 and SB 41 are government intrusion at its worst. No rational person can see the need for regulation of toy guns or guns that look like toys. If someone points anything that looks like a firearm at you, then you are entitled to respond as if your life were being threatened. I suggest that neither of these bill should even be allowed to get to committee

At first blush this bill seems like a good idea, but when you think about it it is too intrusive and serves no valid purpose. In general, we need less government, not more.

Comments on HB 5754, 5755, 5756 By David Felbeck, MCRGO legislative analyst This set of bills is designed to allow concealed pistol licensees (CPLs) to carry and utilize tasers or similar stun products for self protection. In general, any law that will provide a non-lethal option for a licensee is to be applauded, for no one wants to be compelled to
