has anybody touched on the law itself? if i read it right he is a florida resident with a CPL from there which is honored in michigan thru reciprocity? did he carry it in the tv station building against their policy concealed and didn't tell them and it discharged when he got in his car? did he leave it in the car and was putting it back on? who called the police? gave his gun back and no charges filed or even ticketed? now we all know he is armed. that fact alone will effect any judgement for public speaking permits. he will be seen as picking a fight he will need to shoot his way out of. once again this is another step back for gun carriers.
He is a Florida resident with a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP).
Michigan honors
resident permits from
all states.
No, he left the pistol in his vehicle outside the studio. He was "wanded" upon entry.
The firearm discharged in the vehicle, after the interview, while retrieving it.
It is unknown who called the police. Southfield police did take the firearm while conducting their investigation at the police station.
The firearm was returned and there were no charges filed. It was determined that negligence was not involved in the discharge.
The incident has already been a factor in permit issuance. The incident was raised several times during the trial on Friday. The proximity to schools and children going to worship, et al, was bludgeoned during the trial.
And of course the fact that he transported the firearm on an airplane was not overlooked in the slanted news reporting. Naturally with very little mention that it is lawful.
