View Comments
LANSING – Overseers of Michigan’s Capitol closed a loophole in its open carry ban that still could have allowed concealed carry licensees to display their firearms.
The Capitol Commission voted unanimously Monday to change the ban s language to bar anyone from openly displaying a concealed weapon even with the proper permits. Michigan State Police pointed out the commission s policy still would have allowed people with a concealed pistol license to openly carry a firearm in the Capitol.
“Anyone is banned from open carry whether licensed for CPL or not,” Commissioner William Kandler said.
