Issue Position: Our Second Amendment

Issue Position

The defense of the Second Amendment is essential to our way of life. The price of liberty is constant vigilance. Our Founding Fathers knew this and knew the only way to ensure our liberty as to be able to back it up with force, if necessary. Our Second Amendment states: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Michigan citizens, like all American citizens, have this fundamental right as well as a duty to protect themselves and their families should the need arise. Michigan's Concealed Pistol Law (CPL) is a great example of a way we can assert our second amendment right. Citizens of Michigan have the right to carry arms and protect themselves, their families and their property. Our law enforcement officers cannot be everywhere all the time. I will work to ensure our second amendment rights are protected and promoted!
