Sponsor: Representative Rick Jones
House Committee: Conservation, Forestry, and Outdoor Recreation
Senate Committee: Judiciary
Date Completed: 2-17-06
CONTENT
The bill would amend the handgun licensure law to allow an individual to carry, possess, use, or transport a pistol belonging to another individual if the pistol were properly licensed and inspected under the law and the individual carrying, possessing, using, or transporting the pistol had obtained a license under the law to carry a concealed pistol.
The handgun licensure law prohibits a person from purchasing, carrying, or transporting a pistol in the State without having first obtained a license for the pistol from the chief of police, or his or her deputy, in a city, township, or village where the police department issues licenses to purchase, carry, or transport pistols; or from the sheriff, or his or her authorized deputy, in the parts of a county not included within a city, township, or village having an organized police department. The law also requires a person who owns or comes into possession of a pistol to present it to a police department for a safety inspection. The bill would make an exception to these provisions for an individual described above.
