Michigan Senate OKs Legislation that Allows Concealed Weapons in Gun-Free Zones

The Michigan state Senate on Wednesday approved a bill that allows licensed gun owners to carry in places that do not allow weapons.

With eight extra hours of training, people with concealed weapons permits would be allowed to carry in churches, schools, stadiums, day cares, concert halls, bars, hospitals, and other places that under current law are designated gun free.

The series of bills were sent to the state House for consideration. While Republicans control both chambers, passage of the legislation is not certain as Republican Gov. Rick Snyder vetoed a similar plan in 2012.

The legislation would give privately-owned businesses the right to remain gun free, however. And current law still allows school districts to have a say over whether guns would be allowed in schools.
