[Michigan] State House Passes LaFave\u2019s Firearms Transport Bill<\/a><\/p>\n

The state House today passed Rep. Beau LaFave\u2019s plan to expand the rights of gun owners to transport their firearm unmolested while on private property.<\/p>\n

The bill would allow uncased firearms in any vehicle, including an ATV or UTV, on private land as long as they are accompanied by or have permission from the landowner or lessee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a huge win for Michiganders all over the state,\u201d said LaFave, of Iron Mountain. \u201cThis will help keep individuals from being unnecessarily prosecuted. Right now, you can carry a loaded pistol in or upon a vehicle with a CPL, but getting caught with a .22 long rifle subjects you to three months in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis common-sense reform does not impact public safety,\u201d LaFave said. \u201cThe bill simply decriminalizes a statute that makes criminals out of law-abiding citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similar legislation passed the House with the support of LaFave in 2018. That law, now Public Act 272 of 2018, allowed a bow or crossbow to be transported without a case.<\/p>\n

LaFave said: \u201cMichiganders are entitled to their right to bear arms, more so on their own property than anywhere else. I remain committed to protecting the Second Amendment rights of gun owners. But let\u2019s not forget, this is also a private property issue. Nobody should face three months of jail time for transporting firearms on their own property. This is a DNR regulation that does not help public safety, and the government has no business telling you what you can or cannot do on your own land with firearms, so long as you aren\u2019t endangering the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

House Bill 4078 now heads to the Senate for further consideration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
