EDUCATION is PREVENTION

We are always in search for answers when it comes to the issue of CHILDREN and GUNS…The problem is we are way to REACTIVE about this matter when it will take a PROACTIVE approach to make a real difference.

One way to start is by EDUCATING OURSELVES about the PRINCIPLES OF GUN SAFETY and the PROTOCOLS OF A CHILDS ENCOUNTER WITH A FIREARM.

This is a small guide that you can start with. It can help with the conversation with your family about this most current and pressing matter.

If you would like more information or details about our upcoming FREE CLASS: CHILDREN and FI****MS: A Real Conversation

In Michigan, you are not legally obligated to disclose that you are carrying a concealed weapon during a truly consensual conversation with law enforcement. The mandatory "duty to inform" only applies if you are stopped or detained by a peace officer.

The Distinction:

Consensual Conversations:
Since you are free to leave and not being legally detained, there is no statutory obligation in Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL) 28.425f to inform the officer.

Stopped or Detained:
If an officer pulls you over, detains you, or officially stops you while you are carrying concealed, you must immediately inform them that you are a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) holder and that you are carrying a concealed weapon.

How the Law Works When Stopped:

Immediate Disclosure:
You must state immediately that you have a CPL and that you are carrying.

State Law:
This obligation specifically applies to Michigan CPL holders; however, it is heavily recommended to present both your driver’s license and CPL together whenever you are interacting with the police during a traffic stop.

Penalties:
Failure to disclose during a legal stop results in a civil infraction with monetary fines and potential CPL suspension or revocation.

Disclaimer - This is NOT legal advice.

Medical training is equally important to defense training.
