The good thing about MI's CPL is it gives reformed criminals (such as myself ) a second chance by allowing expunged felons (set aside, pardoned) to still recieve their CPL with the 2001 legal update.

I think that some group put a lot of thought into these requirements. They have eliminated that group of the population that has exhibited poor judgement (reckless driving, reckelss use or display of a weapon,etc.), problems with alcohol or substance abuse, problems with contols of temper (spousal abuse etc.), psycological issues (stalking, insanity, sex deviance, etc.), and a history of criminal activity without any evidence of a real recognition that crime is wrong. I found it surprizing that a convicted felon can get a CCW permit but am pretty sure that they have to meet a lot of requirements that the average citizen may have some problems with.

Basically, if you talk to almost any cop, or prosecuting attourney, they have eliminated just about every type of individual who has caused the most problems for the legal system.

It should also be noted that an NCIC background check is part of the process. Which means that if you once were convicted of robbing a Mom and Pop grocery in Guam (a US territory) you won't get a CCW permit. I have to wonder if they ever catch some applicants who were convicted of a crime in absentia, and who were unaware of that conviction,in that net. If so, I'll bet that was one real unpleasent surprize.

I think that the whole point of the process is to insure to the greatest extent possible that those who can carry concealed are only those who can be trusted to do it responsibly. Unfortunately, it's not foolproof and there have been some CCW permit holders who, in hindsight, should not have been granted that license.

See the following link. I grew up 5 miles south of Twinsburg and my brother still lives in the area so something like this happening was a bit of a shock. http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum43/13590.html

Just FYI

Reckless driving can be any 2 offenses.

Speeding at 5mph over and running a yellow light :shockhow many people have done this?)

Yes, a person that commits this heinous of a crime should never be allowed the right of self defense.

:banghead:

It's my opinion that they really messed up the CPL requirements.

Here's another.... ever take a whiz in public?

Thats right..... EVEN if you are out hunting on public land and nature calls, you can be charged with indecent exposure or urinating in public. Both of which will also land you on the sex offender registry.

NO CPL FOR YOU!

Yes, an awesome job those guys did in writing that lovely piece of....

There are only a few requirements to for a previously convicted felon to have before being issued a CPL. Here is (in part) the requirement for previously convicted felons from the December 20th 2001 "Open Letter to the MSP and all Concerned Citizens" in the Firearms Laws of Michigan p213:



[align=left]

Convicted on or after July 1, 2001:

Click to expand...

The felon is subject to the Federal firearms prohibition if the underlying felony conviction occurred on or after July 1, 2001. The felon is NOT relieved of this Federal disability by obtaining an expungement or set aside of the underlying conviction under Michigan law because the felon is still subject to the restriction under the new CCW law. In this situation, to avoid the Federal firearm prohibition, the felon must obtain a gubernatorial pardon.[/align]
[align=left]• Convicted prior to July 1, 2001: The felon similarly is subject to the Federal prohibition if the underlying felony conviction occurred prior to July 1, 2001. In this case, to avoid the Federal firearm prohibition, prior to July 1, 2001, the felon must have completed all sentencing terms and conditions, and must have removed any and all firearms restrictions under the state’s felon-in-possession and predecessor CCW provisions; OR, prior to July 1, 2001, the felon must have received a set aside or expungement. Alternatively, a felon who obtained a gubernatorial pardon will also avoid the Federal firearms prohibition.
