Police department limiting purchase permit hours

[the500kid]

I heared or read before that police departments can't limit the hours that they issue purchase permits, but I can't find anything on the internet were I can verifie that information.  Any help would be appreciated.  I can't make iT to the Wed-fri hrs they have at the Westland Police department.

They probably have set clerk working hours. You didn't say the hours. Some offices close at 4:30 -5:00.
Your on their time not yours.

If I recall correctly, what you heard was in SB 59 which was vetoed by the Gov. I believe SB 213 tries it again.

Someone else please back me up / correct me.

SB 59 has nothing to do w/purchase permits.

SAFR secured a letter from the AG's office a few years back saying they had to give out PPs during any normal business hours. Of course, the letter from the AGs office in and if itself isn't enforceable.

Here's a few courses of action the OP to consider:

1. Try to work with Westland PD and be prepared to sue them if they don't voluntarily change.
2. Visit the Wayne or Livonia PD instead. Under Public Act 377 of 2012, any police agency has to give you a PP, if you qualify under the law -- whether or not you live there. I'd call in advance of showing up and make sure the person issuing the permit understands/is aware of the change under PA 377 of 2012.

Might want to take a copy with you, in case there is questions.

#2 will probably be easier.

Well there you go. TheQ would know better than I, so I'm going with what he said.
