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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
