The committee voted 5 to 1 to send the legislation, which will provide for concealed carry in pistol free zones (among other things), to the full Senate for a vote.
The committee voted 5 to 1 to approve the bill, which will now go to the full senate for a vote. I have been in regular contact with the office of Sen. Green, the author of the bill, and other legislators as well regarding this and other relevant legislation. Now that it has passed the committee, each of us needs to take the time to contact our Michigan State Senators to encourage them to vote for this bill. It is believed that we have the votes to pass it, but now is not the time to assume too much. Take a moment and let your Senator know that you expect them to support this legislation.

Under the legislation, permit holders would be allowed to carry guns in the so-called “pistol-free zones” if they undergo an extra nine hours of training beyond the current eight.
They also would have to fire an extra 94 rounds at the range beyond the 98 the legislation requires for a basic permit. Just 30 rounds are required now.
