I guess making a decision would have to be based on what effects you more.
Everyone has to have a purchase permit/ RI 60 and register their pistols under the current law, not everyone has to deal with PFZs however. On one hand you have a bill (SB-59) which would effect ONLY those with CPLs, roughly 339,016 (from the MSP website) people. Whereas PP and registration repeal (HB 5225) would effect any law abiding person in Michigan that wishes to purchase a pistol which could be nearly 7 million people.
In that regard not everyone buys a firearm every day or every month even whereas some people are effected by PFZs everyday either by choice or because of their jobs, in having to pick between the two theres going to be a bit of a bias depending on how the situation effects you.
Looking at a comparison of the number of people either of these could possibly effect it would seem as though getting rid of PP and registration would be the more beneficial because that would effect EVERY law abiding person who buys a firearm whereas PFZ repeal only effects a handful and only some of the time, but it would allow those with CPLs to carry in areas where having a firearm might be the most necessary.
Just something for you all to think about when considering the question in the OP.
