GOP lawmakers introduce constitutional carry bills

Legislation removes requirement for government permit

Legislation enabling law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons for self-protection without possessing a government-issued permit to do so was introduced today by four House Republicans.

House Bills 5301-5304 were introduced by state Reps. Tom Barrett, R-Potterville; Lee Chatfield, R-Levering;Triston Cole, R-Mancelona; and Jim Runestad, R-White Lake.

The bill sponsors say the legislation allows more freedom for responsible citizens who want to carry a concealed weapon for self-defense. Penalties for the unlawful possession of a firearm will remain in place, and people who are currently not legally allowed to carry a firearm will not legally be able to carry a concealed weapon.

Rep. Runestad, sponsor of HB 5303, said the requirements Michigan places on lawful gun owners to carry a concealed weapon are unnecessary. Read more

SAF Mourns Loss of Justice Scalia

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation is mourning the loss of a giant on the U.S. Supreme Court with the death today of Justice Antonin Scalia, the man who authored the landmark 2008 Heller ruling that recognized the Second Amendment as protective of an individual civil right to keep and bear arms.

“Antonin Scalia was a brilliant legal scholar who not only understood the Constitution, he brought clarity to possibly the most important issue of our time,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. “I had the honor and privilege to have met Justice Scalia and found him to be a man of strong ethics and intellect, and great character.

“Justice Scalia was a fierce defender of the Constitution and he adhered to its original meanings,” he continued. “I found him to be a warm, charming and humorous man with great wit who deeply loved this country and had an unshakeable belief in the rule of law.” Read more

Suppressors Legal for Hunting in Michigan

Written by ASA on February 12, 2016 – Comments

Salvo Hunting

On February 11th, Michigan became the 38th state to allow for the use of firearm suppressors while hunting when the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) voted 4 – 1 to approve an amended version of Wildlife Conservation Order Amendment No. 1 of 2016. The measure became effective immediately.

The initial proposal included two arbitrary restrictions which would have limited the decibel reduction of suppressors allowed in the field to 30 dB, and would have also prohibited the use of subsonic ammunition by anyone using a suppressor while hunting. Prior to the final vote, Commissioner Louise Klarr offered an amendment to remove these two provisions from the proposed rule. Her measure passed also 4 – 1. Read more
