Anyone seen any media retractions of their claims of “blood in the streets” and “OK Corral shootouts” when the law passed? Me neither! Oversight, I’m sure.

I have read, in the past, of towns that “require” its citizens to own a weapon. Strange statistics seem to happen. The crime rate goes down.

This appears to be the same concept. If everyone “must carry”, you don’t know who ISN’T.

It definitely shows that somebody has been doing some very effective grassroots work over the past 25 years.

I'll never forget the day a buddy of mine called to tell me there was a bill in the MI House to change MI from a "may issue" state to a "shall issue" state. That was in 2000. I really didn't think it would happen in my lifetime.

Having to go to any unit of government to "get permission" to exercise this God-given right STINKS; however, I've been happily carrying since 2001.

My Michigan CPL expired the week I had to move out of state to a May (But really won’t unless you’re very politically connected and have lots of money) Issue State

I could swear the liberals said concealed carry means dead people everywhere. So far, about 40 States have “Shall Issue” and no dead people. Go figure.

I find it disturbing a mere accusation can prevent a citizen from being armed.

AZ went unrestricted in 2010.

>AZ went unrestricted in 2010.

Then why have there been any debate whatsoever about guns on campuses in AZ?

That’s a very good point. I guess “unrestricted” is in the eye of the beholder at the time of the writing....

I would like to know if there is any restrictions in Michigan for carry in a car with a CCW?

Just keep it out of plain view.
