by Joe Lapointe Lansing protesters last spring. Last week’s deadly Trump Riot at the U.S. Capitol in Washington inspired a good half-measure in Michigan. It embarrassed or frightened The Mitten’s legislature into banning the open carry of firearms into the State House and Senate. But anyone still can walk around outside the Lansing building with an assault rifle and concealed carry permit holders can pack heat indoors while watching legislators make law for the Great Lakes State. Such oppression! Thank goodness you can still tote a deadly weapon in case you get challenged to a duel. The gun rules changed Monday by a 6-0 vote of Michigan’s State Capitol Commission, which runs the building. It came less than a week after they got the nod from Republican Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey.
