A dozen gun bills similar to ones recently vetoed by Governor Rick Snyder will get a committee hearing Tuesday.
The Michigan Public Radio Network’s Jake Neher has more.
The bills would overhaul the way Michigan issues concealed pistol licenses and regulates air guns. Snyder vetoed the CPL bills because he said they could’ve put domestic abuse victims in danger. He vetoed the air gun bills because he said they would have created inconsistencies in Michigan law about the definition of a “firearm.”
State House Judiciary Committee Chair Klint Kesto says they’ll take plenty of time to make sure those issues are fixed.
“I don’t think that we’re in a position of haste at this point – we’re still early on in the session,” he says.
Many Democrats still oppose changing the way Michigan issues concealed pistol licenses.
