Sec. 9.
The commissioner shall make and adopt rules and regulations for the direction, control, discipline and conduct of the members of said department, for promotion on the basis of seniority of service, qualifications being equal, of the officers of the department, for the filing and hearing of charges against such officers and he may make any other rules and regulations for the governing and operation of said department as shall appear to him reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this act. He may require any officer or employe, who may receive and/or disburse public funds in the course of his duties, to file a bond conditioned that he will honestly, correctly, and according to law receive, disburse, pay over and/or account for all public moneys coming into his hands, such bond to be approved as to form, amount and surety by the attorney general.
In 2003, Mike Cox authored opinion # 7123 regarding the power of the Department of Natural Resources to regulate the possession of firearms by those with a CPL. In this opinion, Mr. Cox stated that "A person licensed to carry a concealed pistol is subject to the rules, regulations, and orders of the Department of Natural Resources regulating the possession of firearms"
Since that time, the law giving the power of the DNRE to regulate pistols, MCL 324.504, 324.43510, and 324.43516 were amended; the DNR(E) no longer has the power to regulate the possession of firearms outside of hunting/trapping.
However, there have not been any changes made to other state level departments, such as the MSP, and their ability to regulate the possession of firearms. Therefore, based on Mr Cox's opinion, the MSP may have the power to regulate the possession of firearms in those areas which the commissioner has been determined to have exclusive control.
