UPPER MICHIGAN - Proposed legislation that would allow Michigan bow hunters to carry a pistol for personal protection while in the woods has passed the House. In a press release yesterday, the Michigan House Republicans said the bill, which was introduced by Dave Prestin and supported by Karl Bohnak and Greg Markkanen passed with bipartisan support. Under the current Michigan law, bow hunters can only carry a pistol if they hold a valid Concealed Pistol License, even if it’s carried openly. House Bill 4855 would allow bow hunters to open carry a firearm for personal protection. Now, the legislation moves to the state Senate for further consideration.
