House Bill 6477, introduced this week by Rep. Sharon MacDonell (D-Troy) and referred to the House Committee on Government Operations, amends Michigan’s License to Purchase (LTP) law (MCL 28.422) by imposing a costly and burdensome training requirement. Please use the take action button to contact your representative to respectfully urge them to oppose this legislation.
To acquire a License to Purchase, an individual would be required to satisfy eight hours of training, which includes five hours of classroom time and three hours of range time. The permit is required for all firearm purchases, including shotguns, rifles, and handguns. The permit is valid for a period of five years. Those holding a valid concealed weapons permit are exempt.
Currently, only a few states require any formal training to purchase a firearm. This new requirement closely resembles California's recently passed enhanced requirements, designed to increase the cost and burden of exercising an individual's Second Amendment rights.
