2011 House Bill 4126

Lower pistol length definition to 26 inches

Introduced in the House

Jan. 20, 2011

Introduced by Rep. Douglas Geiss (D-22)

To change the law defining any firearm less than 30 inches in length as a “pistol,” making this 26 inches. Some rifles with folding stocks are less than 30 inches, and so under Michigan law are technically subject to the same purchase and other restrictions as pistols.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
