28.422 is the law requiring MI residents to get a License to Purchase/Possess/Transport a pistol and to register our pistols.
Sections 11 and 12 have a little tidbit that is really bothering me.
The way this law is written I can't teach my sisters, nieces, nephews, mom, friends, etc. the basics of safe pistol handling/operation in my or their homes...we must be at a shooting range/facility for them to handle the pistol.
How many NRA Basic Pistol instructors out there are teaching out of their homes or going to the student's home? If the student doesn't have their own pistol and the instructor brings one they are breaking the law. If the student does have a pistol but the instructor doesn't have a CPL then he is also breaking the law if he handles the pistol. A couple brings the instructor into their home but the gun is registered to the husband...if the wife handles it she is breaking the law.
Read that idiotic piece of garbage legislation again. The ONLY times that a person who is not the registered owner of the pistol may be in possession of the pistol is if *the pistol is classified as an antique, *the non-owner possessor has a concealed license, OR the non-owner possessor is being taught AT A RANGE/FACILITY.
*28.432 provides the exemptions for the concealed license holder or the antique pistol.
For some reason this is really getting my dander up.
