Not sure is this is the best sub forum to post this but here goes.
I just received notice to renew my CPL and in keeping with the review of required training I also ran through the “Firearms Laws of Michigan” as accessed through the MSP site. I don’t ever recall Act 451 and it doesn’t seem to have any real teeth. I’ve thought for decades that something like this should be required across the nation, just like fire safety, etc. I’ve also heard opposing opinions on gun boards for various reasons too such as it being hijacked by anti-2A types.
Does anybody know if this ever went anywhere at any school district level, even as a piece of paper to satisfy the Act?
The People of the State of Michigan enact:
ARTICLE 2
PART 15
SCHOOL DISTRICTS; POWERS AND DUTIES GENERALLY
380.1163 Gun safety instruction for elementary school pupils; model program.
Sec. 1163. (1) Not later than August 1, 2011, the department shall develop or adopt, and shall make available to schools, 1 or more model programs for gun safety instruction for elementary school pupils. The model program shall adopt or be based on the “Eddie Eagle” gunsafe accident prevention program developed by the national rifle association.
(2) Each school district and public school academy is encouraged to adopt and implement the model gun safety instruction program developed under subsection (1) in at least grade 3 beginning in the 2011-2012 school year.
