THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 5l. (1) A license to carry a concealed pistol issued
before July 1, 2003 is valid for 3 years and a license to carry a
concealed pistol issued on or after July 1, 2003 is valid for 5
years. A Except as provided in subsections (3) and (4), a renewal
of a license under section 5b shall be issued in the same manner as
an original license issued under section 5b.
(2) The educational requirements under section 5b(7)(c) are
waived for an applicant who is a retired police officer or retired
law enforcement officer.
(3) The educational requirements under section 5b(7)(c) for an
applicant who is applying for a renewal of a license under this act
are waived except that the applicant shall certify that he or she
has completed at least 3 hours' review of the training described
under section 5b(7)(c) and has had at least 1 hour of firing range
time in the 6 months immediately preceding the subsequent
application.
(4) The fingerprinting requirements under section 5b are
waived for an applicant who is applying for a renewal of a license
under this act.
Basicaly, this gets rid of the fingerprint requirements for those are renewing their conceal carry license. This is a good bill.
Good. The fewer restrictions, the more people will carry. The more that carry...well, you know.
Seriously, one objection I have to relocating to the UP is your state's insistence on knowing what kind of hardware I have and declaring it when I take up residence. I may be from the socialist state of Minnesota, but that is none of MI's damn business!
When I bought my pistol, I had to first get a "purchase permit" from the local PD(Sheriff at my old address since my township had no PD). They are free at some places, cost at others.
Then I had to take it back for (cough) registration, I mean "Safety Inspection" where I get a "Green Card".
The "Safety Inspection" consists of the undersheriff and the deputies at the station cops looking at how 'cool' the gun is. "Whoa, this is a nice one!"
Folks I know in the UP probably don't do too much in the line of safety inspection compliance.
I seriously hope they get rid of the oppressive gun laws (I suspect the Detroit riots at the root of it all). Looks like you're headed down the right track. Get it all settled and I'll start lookin' at land again!
Actually blame the Ku Klux Klan. They lobbied for all the laws in the 20's when one of those those "uppity you-know-whats" defended himself from those Klucksters. Dr. Ossian Sweet, a black man, committed the "crime" of moving into a white area of Detroit. A mob stoned his place, and Dr Sweet's brother shot one of them in self defense.
Ohhhh! The RAT Klan then...and the RAT Klan now - it all makes sense!

Remember the Feds trying to shake down Cabrini Greens residents because they lived in Federal housing?
Mayor Daley was right there with him.
L
ALL RATs were with him.
