John Barnes at MLive.com reports today on potential new changes coming for Michigan's concealed handgun law.
The details of the proposal are expected to be taken up tomorrow morning in the Michigan Senate's Natural Resources, Environment and Great Lakes Committee.
The changes could allow license holders who receive extra training to carry handguns in places currently off-limits under the law, such as sports stadiums, churches, and schools.
Barnes writes that the proposed measure hopes to increase the accuracy of reports on permit holders who violate the law:
Additional measures in the bill are aimed at ensuring mandatory annual reports on permit holders who run afoul of the law are more accurate. The MLive investigation last summer found many prosecutors and clerks refused to do them. Those that did frequently made mistakes, under-reporting convictions and revocations for gun- and non-gun crimes.
