West Virginia Man’s Hoax no Joke

“To have someone come into our community and make a hoax that makes us look like were a bunch of criminals shooting people – that disturbs us greatly in northeastern Montana,” Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier said. “We’re good people.”  Ray Dolin, a freelance photographer, who was travelling to promote kindness in America, told the AP after the shooting that he was traveling across Montana on the way to Washington state to collect material for his book.  Looks like he’s changed his plans.  More on how he was caught here…

Michigan Firearms Legislation Update

House Bill 5225 H-4 passed the full Michigan House of Representatives on Wednesday, June 13 on a vote of 74-36 along with companion legislation HB 5498 and HB 5499.  These bills repeal the permit to purchase process and registration requirements for pistols in Michigan.  MCRGO actively supports these bills and has been laying the groundwork for the repeal of mandatory registration over the past five years.

NICS checks would remain in place for FFL dealers.  The legislation would require state and local police agencies to destroy their pistol registries within six months following the effective date of the new law.  Michigan is currently one of a very small minority of states that maintain mandatory state registration.  The federal government is legally prohibited from maintaining a national pistol registry.

The H-4 version of HB 5225 can be found here

The Michigan Legislature began its summer recess on Friday, June 15.  The bills are expected to be taken up by the Michigan Senate this fall.
