Concealed Pistol Protocol

This from Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners

Q: I know that I have to disclose that I am armed if I am stopped by a police officer while I am carrying my pistol. What if I get pulled over but I am not carrying? Should I mention my CPL at all?

 


A: First, remember that you are in possession of your pistol and therefore “carrying” if it is in the passenger compartment and accessible. Your gun is considered not accessible when it is unloaded in chamber and magazine and in a locked trunk, or locked in a case with no ammo in the case if your vehicle does not have a trunk. Law enforcement information systems contain the information that you are a CPL holder. So, when you are pulled over, the officer knows that you have a Concealed Pistol License. I recommend that even if you are not carrying, you discuss the matter with the officer right up front. Simply say something like: “Officer, before we go any further, let me say that I have a Concealed Pistol License but I am not carrying today.” Read more

Another Mountain Lion Sighted in Michigan

remus

“Based on documented evidence, cougars observed in Michigan could be escaped or released pets. Or, they could be transient or dispersing cougars from the nearest known breeding populations in North and South Dakota,” stated the DNR on its website. “These populations are over 900 miles from Michigan.”

This 60 second clip contains footage from a trail cam that was setup by hunters from Remus who discovered a deer kill site. The footage revealed a male cougar who repeatedly returned to the site to consume the deer. The footage was verified and confirmed by DNR Wildlife Division staff. The Michigan DNR has now confirmed nearly 30 UP cougar sightings.
