Michigan Constitution Article I, Section 6

Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state.

BUT Us/We here in Michigan Must remain ever vigilant. There is chatter/forces at work to have a new State Constitutional Convention.
Our rights could very easily get trampled.

A Michigan Constitutional Convention Question is on the November 2, 2010 statewide ballot in Michigan as an automatic ballot referral.

Section 3 of Article XII of the Michigan Constitution mandates that Michigan's voters be asked every sixteen years whether they want a constitutional convention. The last time the question was asked was in 1994, when voters rejected Proposal A by 28%-72%.[1] 76.7% of voters similarly rejected the idea of calling a convention in 1978. The current version of the Michigan Constitution was adopted in 1963.

Illinois Constitution Article I, Section 22

Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

I guess that makes Illinois... well, a Police State.

It sure looks that way, MI. Clever observation on your part!

North Carolina is one of those 44 states, and one of the original 13 colonies to sign the U.S. Constitution into becoming the Law of the Land, or I wouldn't be setting here now with my 709 SS in my left front pocket, and my TCP in the other front pocket!
