Michigan Gun Legislation Signed Into Law

The push for more gun laws in the state have been signed into law by Governor Whitmer, yesterday (Monday).

Whitmer signed legislation that prohibits individuals convicted of a misdemeanor related to domestic violence from possessing firearms for at least an eight-year-period.

State law currently includes firearm restrictions for those with felonies related to domestic abuse, but no law has existed for misdemeanor domestic violence.

Along with the eight-year ban, those now convicted must also have completed the terms of imprisonment and paid all fines before they can purchase, possess, or use a firearm.
