HB 5225 procedures for purchase and possession

[Roundballer]

Someone has to have the new language for HB5225, the NRA web page link is a link to the author's "My Documents", just a screw up.

This bill is now tie-bared with HB 5498 and HB 5499. These two bills seem to be eliminating all references and penalties to 28.422 (purchase permits). One could conclude that the entire registration scheme is being eliminated, but we don't have anything to read yet.

I really don't like when they do "substitute" bills, and everyone jumps in saying "support this", and we don't even know what it says.

I have tried to do a search for the new language, but my google-** is failing me today.

The only HB5225 published is this one:

The only copies of a bill that are ever published on the leguslature website are the copies that are introduced and the copies that are passed out of committee.

The NRA has fixed its' link to the substitute language:

It looks to me like they are going to try to repeal 28.422, 28.423, and strip a lot language from other places.

As well as give 6 months to all of the departments that have been keeping records to destroy those records. And require reporting of the completion of the task within 30 days from the end of the 6 month period.

It may have an effect on the "pistol free school zones", but more than just a quick read will be needed

I plan on attending the May 17 committee meeting.

Any word on time or location? I checked the judiciary website and its not scheduled yet.

I'm discussing that here. I hope others will contribute to that conversation.

I spoke with representative Walsh's office. The agenda won't be posted until one week prior to the meeting. Until then it is tentatively scheduled for the 17th.

If the House's judiciary committee is anything like the Senate's, we're sunk. I would be interested to know what you find out.

I'm confused regarding the gun school free zones and the effect of Michigan's pistol registration. I've heard we are exempt from the act when we have a registered handgun in our possession. It sounds like we may lose this. What is the situation in other States without registration? Are thousands of gun owners committing Federal crimes every day?

If a LTP works as a “license” for the school zone, could that be a separate issue from gun registration? or are the two required to be linked?
