What did we expect from a Socialist that is more concerned about allowing China to move into the state and control vast tracts of land. This Governor is and always was a hard core Socialist in sheep's clothing. People never learn to look at all the political candidate is about they only focus on one political statement and surrender their vote. Sad as this is, we may have been better off with Grandholm than this Socialist Governor.

Friends, I am not alone in receiving our traitor governors email this morning. Today he revealed his true goal..TO BAN OC!

MOC has failed the OCers of Michigan by agreeing to have our GOD GIVEN OC rights ripped from us. We need a LEADER! A CHAMPION who will lead the charge against this attempt to strip of us of our rights. From my lurking here, I see one man who stands most steadfast against these infringements.

DanM! Will you lead us? Your words have shown great resolve. Will you form a coalition of open carriers and gun owners alike to fight this government overreach? Perhaps Boiledfrogs can help you?

Let us TRUE OC ADVOCATES band together behind DanM!

Please say you will take on this lofty responsibility, DanM. You can lead us where MOC has failed us. Do not fail us too!





"Thank you for your recent correspondence sent to my office.

Senate Bill 59 offered a number of wise and necessary reforms to Michigan's weapon laws. The bill provided for an enhanced Concealed Pistol License that would require additional training. It would streamline the Concealed Pistol License process by eliminating county gun boards and vesting issuing authority with the sheriff.

More important, SB 59 looked at a feature of Michigan law that needs fixing - Michigan's open carry law. The law currently prohibits a concealed pistol license holder from carrying a concealed weapon in a "pistol-free zone," which includes a school, a day care center, a sport stadium, a bar, a church, a hospital, an entertainment facility, and a college classroom or dormitory. Ironically, current law does not prevent a concealed pistol license holder from openly carrying a pistol at these places.

My original hope with Senate Bill 59 was to reach a compromise by prohibiting the open carry of pistols in the above-mentioned pistol-free zones in exchange for lifting the prohibition on the carrying of concealed weapons in these zones -- subject to the approval of the public or private property owners.

The resulting bill only went part way in achieving that goal. The bill would allow private property owners to prohibit a person from carrying a concealed pistol on their private property. It permits certain universities and colleges to adopt an ordinance prohibiting the carrying of a concealed pistol. Unfortunately, the bill did not allow public schools, day care centers, or public hospitals to prohibit persons from carrying concealed weapons on their premises. For that reason, I have vetoed Senate Bill 59.

I believe it is important that these public institutions have clear legal authority to ban weapons from their premises: Each is entrusted with the care of a vulnerable population and should have the authority to determine whether its mission would be enhanced by the addition of concealed weapons.

This conversation is likely to continue over the coming months. I hope you'll continue to share your comments and concerns with my office.

Sincerely,

Rick Snyder
Governor"

You fail to understand politics. It will be a popular move with anti's, with most of the N.R.A. members, With the media who will hail the Gov and legislature as Saviors, and most gun owners who clearly fail to get it. It is a win win for the Governor to take away our rights.

Im not sure the legislators wish to follow Snyder into oblivion by making a bill that hurts gun owners at this time.
