2008 House Bill 5969

Senate Roll Call 839: Passed

To allow a temporary resident (less than six months) with a concealed pistol permit from another state to have a handgun in Michigan without obtaining the usual license. Also, to revise the definition of resident for purposes of authorizing a pistol permit to include members of the military permanently resident in this state, or Michigan residents who are in the military and serving outside the state. The bill would also create an exemption for minors at a recognized target range if the pistol is being used for target practice or safety instruction with a parent or guardian present.
