MI HB6422

Allows carrying a pistol in a vehicle without a license in a dwelling, place of business, or on possessed land, and permits unloaded pistols that are taken down, cased, in the trunk, not immediately accessible, or inoperable with barrel or trigger locks.

Adds "or fishing" to the hunting knife exception in MCL 750.227 and clarifies that dangerous weapons are prohibited in vehicles whether concealed or otherwise.

Changes the language in MCL 750.227d from "inaccessible from the interior" to "not immediately accessible to the occupants" for firearms and pneumatic guns in vehicles, and adds inoperability as a compliance option.

Removes prior exceptions in MCL 750.231a that required a valid license issued under 1927 PA 372 for transporting pistols, replacing them with the new dwelling/business/land exceptions and unloaded transport options.

Increases the misdemeanor penalty for violating MCL 750.227d from 90 days to 93 days imprisonment and takes effect 90 days after enactment.
