The Michigan Gun Owners (MGO) Board of Directors has authorized Corporate Counsel Jim Makowski to enter into a joint lawsuit with Michigan Open Carry (MOC) & Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners (MCRGO) against Wayne County due to Wayne County’s recent slowing and cessation of accepting Concealed Pistol License (CPL) applications.
Recent applicants report that the earliest appointment date to apply for a CPL is over a year out into 2022. Current applicants are unable to schedule since the County has shut down the online appointment system and do not return telephone calls.
Per Jim Makowski, "The failure of the Wayne County Clerk to perform her duties with regard to the issuance of Concealed Pistol Licenses is a fundamental violation of the Second Amendment. A right delayed to this degree is the same as a right denied. The number of people charged with a felony for carrying a concealed weapon has skyrocketed in recent months because people do not feel safe and all too often decide to keep a a gun in their cars."
Updates to follow, as available.
