Days after the mass shooting in Las Vegas, the Detroit Police Commission, a citizen oversight board of the police department, unanimously passed a resolution opposing a series of proposed laws in Lansing that would relax rules for concealed pistol license holders.
The proposed laws, Senate bills 584 and 585, would allow Michigan CPL holders, who apply for an exemption, take an additional eight hours of gun training and fire at least 94 bullets at a gun range, to carry firearms in gun-free zones, such as schools, arenas, bars and churches.
The decision to publicly urge the Legislature not to pass the series of laws appeared partly motivated by the Las Vegas attack. |

What does Las Vegas shooting have to do with concealed carry? The low life in Las Vegas used rifles.
Sounds like an excuse to oppose concealed carry. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
