March 07, 2010 - County Gun Board Information in Michigan

In Michigan, the decision to grant, suspend or revoke a concealed weapon permit rests with the county gun board. These boards are filled with unelected representatives from the police or Sheriff’s department and the County Prosecutors Office. While a permit may be denied for legitimate reasons, including past conviction of a felony or a history of mental illness, many individuals are denied rights because of gun board bias. Here at www.personaldefenseservice.com, we will discuss the Gun Boards in our classroom and put to rest any stigma that may be attached to going in front of the Gun Board for the first time.

I recently took a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) course, conducted by Rick Bobinac and Brett Selby of Personal Defense Service, LLC. This was a step out of my comfort zone. My only experience with handguns was when my cousins and I played with toy cap guns during visits with my dads family in southern Illinois back in the early 70s. Things sure have changed.

August 06, 2010 - Michigan police search for apparent serial killer

Friday, August 6, 2010 12:26 PM EDT FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Police in Michigan are looking for a man believed to be responsible for the stabbing deaths of five men and the wounding of eight others since May. All but one of the victims has been black, but authorities arent ready to call the attacks racially motivated, according to The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press on Friday. Ten attacks occurred in Flint, which is a predominantly black city about 50 miles northwest of Detroit and three others were in nearby communities."We dont know if hes targeting male blacks or thats who hes coming across walking late at night," Flint Police Sgt. J. Leigh Golden told the Free Press. Officials said all the victims were stabbed and one person is thought to be behind them. Survivors have said they were attacked by a muscular-built white man with light-colored hair. In some cases they were asked for directions or told of truck troubles before being attacked. The most recent victim, 49-year-old Arnold Minor, was found dead Monday in Flint. He had been walking home after dinner at his brothers home and a visit with his mother, his sister Stephanie Ward told The Detroit News. Buses had stopped running for the night and Minor decided to walk the 10 miles home."When they found him, he wasnt far from home," Ward said. "He bled to death on the street. You dont know what goes through somebodys mind to do something like that."
