Apparently not everyone shares my enthusiasm for CCW permits. While I was looking for information concerning crime stats in Michigan since the Shall Carry law was enacted. I ran across this.

May police limit carrying concealed handguns?  No

Michigan - State law forces police chiefs and state sheriffs to give concealed carry permits (CCW) to anyone who can buy a handgun, allowing them to carry loaded, concealed handguns in public (known as “shall issue”). State law allows residents of some other states to carry concealed weapons in this state without informing local police.

Emphasis mine. I wonder if they know this. Our Michigan State Constitution Reads:

Article 1, Section 6 Bearing of arms: "Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state."

Sounds like another law, which forces government officials to allow anyone who can purchase a firearm to own one. The horror of it all.
