H.B. 5282 Transport of firearm

[Legislave]

You're exactly right, but, that would simply make too much sense.

This sounds great and all...but you still need a CPL to carry in your vehicle. The drafting of this was pretty much a waste of tax payer dollars because you can still do what you could do before, it just made it less wordy. What we need is for this to be ammended to allow the lawful CARRY of a firearm in your vehicle even if you do not possess a CPL.

Waste of time in my opinion.

Actually it should be the lawful "possession" of a firearm in and on a vehicle without a CPL.

You aren't "carrying" it in the glove compartment.

Is Michigan Gun Owners taking any action on this one?

Passed 10-1-4 (for-against-pass).

There was a lot of talk about how there were no prosecutions due to this law.

One of the democrats even assured me I have nothing to fear since no one has been prosecuted under this statute yet. He voted against the bill.

Very uneventful and surprising about the lack of opposition at the committee.

Wouldn't it be quicker and easier to just seek and opinion from the Attorney General to clarify the law?
