On Tuesday, May 8, 2012 the Michigan Senate amended MCL §750.224a with which the passing of Senate Bill 29 allows the possession and reasonable use of an Electro-Muscular Disruption device (commonly known as a “Taser”) by an individual with a valid Concealed Pistol License (CPL). The individual must be trained on the device by a licensed CPL instructor as well as learn the effects and risks involved.
Also included was Senate Bill 30, which amends MCL §28.425f, now requiring the handgun license act to apply to Electro-Muscular Disruption devices. Similar to carrying any other concealed weapon, the CPL holder must have his license on him at all times while carrying the Electro-Muscular Disruption.
