I'm 99% certain about this since Jeff is the Wayne County MCRGO chair and a credible source. I think the email was from Dingell.
Great work MCRGO members here and others that kept the heat on the reps. We did VERY WELL here.
For those that don't know what this bill does, it used to be a FELONY to transport a pistol anywhere outside of a trunk(bad for SUV's) and to transport it anywhere besides hunting, place of business, or a gun range of which you are a member. Now, pistols are treated the same as rifles and shotguns for transport. This is a GREAT repealing of an AWFUL law.
My hat is off to everyone that helped. Now we have to teach Ferndale a lesson in the courts for illegally banning CCW. I think the papers have been filed. Stay tuned. We aren't done yet. We're just getting started!!!!!

"Now we have to teach Ferndale a lesson in the courts for illegally banning CCW. I think the papers have been filed." Find a good gun-loving lawyer - and have him name as codefendants in the lawsuit every official in the town who made that decision: the city councilmen, the mayor or city manager, etc.
That's how the teacher's unions do it when suing on behalf of fired tenured teachers. It not only drives up defense costs for the school system - but it scares the hell out of any school-board member anywhere even thinking of voting to fire a tenured teacher and thus risk his own personal assets.
GUN REVIEWS free from ad-money bias - with emphasis on woman-friendliness of tested guns!

Congratulations, Dan! I know how hard you and your fellow activists in MI have worked for this, and I know that ya'll will continue to work hard until MI has good, sensible, cc laws.

Two questions: when does it go into effect, and is it now legal for someone other than the registered owner to use a handgun?

I don't know who it is filed against besides Ferndale, but we always add residents to the plantiff list. We have a good lawyer now handling this too.
Ferndale, an ultraleft small city bordering Detroit(think Chapel Hill times 2), tried to pass the suit to their insurance company. The insurance company told them it isn't worth fighting and they might not help out here. We(MCRGO) don't care where the money comes from here. Ferndale was talking about taking this to the State Supremes(with a strict constitutionalist majority). We want that actually since that will stand for the whole state outside Oakland County circut court.
Last I heard, there was collection cans in Ferndale asking for donations for legal fees. That's pathetic. LOL.
To: Don Joe
First question - It is in effect immediatly.
Don't know the answer to the 2nd question.
To: Dan from Michigan
Kudos to all involved! I'll feel a little better about driving to the range now.
To: Dan from Michigan
Call me crazy, but I think you folks should still throw the bum out for vetoing it in the first place.

Congrats from PA.... and good luck on the CCW issue!

The "bum" can't run again due to term limits.
The lt gov is running on the GOP side,
and three communists on the DemocRAT side.
The worst commie of the bunch appears to be in the lead.

What's the label say on those pathetic little cans?
Something along the lines of "Give us the money you SHOULD be spending on a gun owned to protect yourself as is your right by the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution so we can take them away from you."?????!
To: Dan from Michigan
Great news Dan. Now that you have won that battle move on to the next and then the next and before you know it you will have the CCW state that you dream of.
It's true, dreams can come true. All it takes is a lifetime's work and a big boot to kick the unwilling's asses into line.

You know, when you pick up this weapon it screams craftmanship.
