worse than NY...cant believe it.
I've meant to ask. If you have ammo in your car or truck (perhaps you've just purchased it) and you stop for lunch, and it's a summer day, can the high temps inside your car cause the round(s) to discharge? Seriously.
They are not protected because people hunt.
They are not protected because people enjoy time on the range.

Yeah, that'll be a lot of use in case of a carjacking.
yanno, this is actually a redundant law. you can have a weapon in your vehicle for transport for any lawful purpose. remember that MI is an open carry state, therefore transporting it anywhere can be considered "lawful."
also, AG ruled that if you have CCW, you may store weapons in your trunk anywhere, including parking lots of gun free zones.
they don't need to pass a new bill, they need to rescind the old one.
I always wondered what the point is of carrying a gun in the trunk of your car.When that fellow snatches your door open at the red light, are you going to freeze the frame for a sec while you run around to retrieve your piece from the trunk?
