LANSING (WKZO AM/FM) – Michigan residents would not need a permit to carry a concealed firearm, and could carry them into locations where they’re currently off-limits, according to bills being debated in a state House committee.
The main bill would eliminate current restrictions on carrying concealed weapons and storing them in vehicles, and make a CPL license unnecessary, although gun owners still could decide to get the license.
Another bill would repeal several existing licensing requirements for gun owners and allow concealed carry in locations that are currently gun-free zones, like churches, daycares and hospitals.
People still wouldn’t be able to conceal carry in schools under the legislation, and privately-run businesses would still have discretion over whether to allow guns on the premises.
