Rick Snyder may not be on the favorite list of the National Rifle Association these days.
The governor vetoed two bills Thursday backed by the NRA that could have made it easier for some people accused of domestic violence to obtain a concealed weapon license, David Shepardson writes in The Detroit News:
Senate Bill 789 contained a provision that would have required authorities to issue a concealed pistol license to someone subject to a personal protection order for domestic violence or stalking unless a judge indicated they were not allowed to purchase or carry a gun, according to a legislative analysis.
"Under current law, no person who is subject to such an order may obtain such a license," Snyder wrote in his veto letter to legislators. "The bill would have amended the restriction, preventing the issuance only if the prohibition was specifically spelled out by the court."
