What do the Michigan residents think about this? No issues that I have heard of since Maine went to it last year.

Michigan House Republicans introduced legislation that would allow "law-abiding" citizens to carry concealed pistols without a government-issued permit. 

A critic calls the proposed change "poor legislation," while sponsors say it would allow more freedom for responsible citizens wanting to carry a concealed weapon for self-defense. 

Michigan Reps. Tom Barrett, R-Potterville; Lee Chatfield, R-Levering; Triston Cole, R-Mancelona; and Jim Runestad, R-White Lake, introduced House Bills 5301-5304 on Tuesday, Feb. 2. 

Cole, author of House Bill 5304, said the current Concealed Pistol License permit requirement in Michigan is a "government over-reach" that places an undue burden on residents who want to defend themselves against criminals. 

"Criminals don't have to go through a training class and wait for government permission to have a handgun before they commit armed robbery, yet a law-abiding citizen who simply wants the option of self-defense has to jump through all the hoops and pay a price to carry a concealed weapon," he said in a prepared statement. 

"People who want to ensure the safety of their families against the criminal element should not have to beg for that right," Cole said.
