Michigan: House Expected to Take Up Pro-Gun Bills This Week!

This week, the Michigan House is expected to take up multiple bills that strengthen the state’s Concealed Pistol License (CPL) system and reduce unnecessary burdens on law‑abiding gun owners. Additionally, On Wednesday, December 18, the House Judiciary Committee will hear testimony on legislation to repeal Michigan’s unconstitutional red flag laws. Please use the Take Action button to respectfully urge members of the House Judiciary Committee to Support HB 4586, HB 5113, HB 4980, HB 4284, and HB 4138–4140.


House Bill 4586 lowers the minimum age to carry a concealed pistol to 18, empowering responsible young adults to exercise their Second Amendment rights. This legislation aligns Michigan with other states that recognize the maturity and responsibility of lawful adults in self-defense situations.

House Bill 5113 creates a 21-day extension for CPL applications in cases of administrative errors, preventing applicants from being penalized for government mistakes. This reform ensures a fair and efficient process for law-abiding citizens seeking to obtain or maintain a CPL.

House Bill 4980 allows Michiganders to file for a CPL in any county in the state, reducing unnecessary travel and administrative obstacles. By modernizing the CPL application process, this bill helps responsible citizens access their lawful rights more easily.

House Bill 4284 lowers the CPL renewal fee from $115 to $30, making it more affordable for law-abiding citizens to maintain their licenses and exercise their constitutional right to self-defense.

House Bills 4138–4140 repeals Michigan’s red flag laws, which allow firearms to be seized without adequate due process protections. This bill package restores fundamental constitutional safeguards while ensuring public safety concerns are addressed through lawful and appropriate means. The House Judiciary Committee will hear testimony only on this legislation on Wednesday.

NRA‑ILA will continue to monitor and report on all Second Amendment‑related legislation in Michigan. Stay tuned for further updates and continue to take action to defend your rights.
