Email from MCRGO   MICHIGAN COALITION FOR RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS "Promoting safe use and ownership of firearms through education, litigation, and legislation." MONDAY E'NEWS Third Victory in Three Weeks! Michigan's concealed pistol license holders have won a third legislative victory in three weeks! In the previous two issues of the Monday E'News, we reported on the full House passage of House Bill 4284, which would lower CPL renewal fees from $115 to $30, and House Bill 4980, which would allow a person to apply for a concealed pistol license in any Michigan county, not only the county in which they reside. The Michigan House of Representatives has also now passed a third bill on behalf of concealed pistol license holders. House Bill 5113 would provide for a grace period due to administrative errors. The bill would allow CPL applicants whose original application was disqualified by the county clerk because of an error by the applicant to submit a new application with corrected information within 21 business days after receiving a notice of statutory disqualification. If an applicant determines that their original CPL application contains an error before receiving a notice of statutory disqualification from the county clerk, the applicant could submit an updated application within 21 business days after submitting the original application. An updated application submitted under this provision of the bill would not be subject to an additional application fee. If a county clerk issues a notice of statutory disqualification because of an error by an individual other than the applicant, the applicant could submit a new CPL application at any time without paying an additional fee, provided that the applicant submits supporting documents that correct the error. The bill passed the full Michigan House of Representatives on a vote of 78-27 with the support of all the Republicans and half of the Democratic legislators. This heavily bipartisan support increases its chances of being considered by the Democratic majority Michigan Senate this session. MCRGO Director and Attorney Steve Dulan testified in support of HB 5113 in the House Judiciary Committee. Share This Email Share This Email Share This Email Legal Video Request for Proposal MCRGO operates a concealed pistol license training program in which it certifies instructors to train students under the requirements of Michigan law. One of these requirements is instruction in firearms and the law, including civil liability issues and the use of deadly force. MCRGO provides this instruction by an attorney through a recorded video format. MCRGO wishes to replace its current legal video with a CPL Legal Lesson video that is concise, engaging, broken into sections with section titles, has key points highlighted by text, and includes closed captioning for the deaf and hard of hearing. The completed video will be between 70 and 100 minutes in length. The project company will be providing both videography and video editing services. The videography portion will involve recording content from an attorney in the Lansing, Michigan area. The raw video will be presented to a team of instructors who will make recommendations to trim, split, and order content. The video editor will arrange the remaining content, add titles and text provided by MCRGO, and add closed captioning. Proposals shall be submitted to MCRGO Executive Director Brady Schickinger by email to [email protected] no later than 12:00 PM (Noon) EST on Monday, February 16, 2026. Confirmation of receipt will occur within 24 hours. Submitted proposals will remain confidential. The MCRGO Operations Committee will select a proposal by Friday, February 27, 2026. Following selection, the project company will prepare and submit a contract to MCRGO, and MCRGO will prepare and submit an NDA to the project company. The full request for proposal, including the project timeline, proposal elements, and evaluation criteria, may be found HERE.
