Michigan: Constitutional Carry Legislation Introduced

A package of pro-Second Amendment legislation has been introduced in the Michigan House. House Bills 5653–5657 would make Michigan the 30th state in the nation to recognize Constitutional Carry, allowing individuals who are legally permitted to possess a firearm to carry a concealed pistol without first obtaining a government-issued permit. The legislation has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee and is currently awaiting a hearing date. Please use the Take Action button below to contact members of the House Judiciary Committee and urge them to SUPPORT HB 5653–HB 5657.  

House Bill 5653 removes the requirement that law-abiding citizens obtain a permit before carrying a concealed pistol.

House Bills 5655, 5656, and 5657 make necessary updates to Michigan statutes so that individuals who may lawfully possess a firearm are not penalized for carrying a concealed pistol without a permit if Constitutional Carry is enacted.

House Bill 5654 repeals additional provisions tied to Michigan’s current concealed pistol licensing requirements to ensure the law is applied consistently.

NRA-ILA will continue to monitor legislation impacting your Second Amendment rights in Michigan and will keep you informed of further developments.
