Description: This session presents a wide-ranging survey of the “national tradition” of firearms regulation, compiling hundreds of historical public carry laws across every state. This session will trace the origins of the “trifecta” in Michigan: (1) concealed carry, (2) possession by a prohibited person, and (3) felony firearm. It will also demystify the “historical analysis” test articulated in Bruen and provide tools for Michigan defense attorneys to successfully litigate Second Amendment challenges.
Take-aways:
• Comprehensive history of firearms regulations in Michigan.
• Compelling narrative strategies for making applied challenges in CCW/FIP/FF cases
• Guidance on how to incorporate the Heller/Bruen/Rahimi framework into motions.
• Sample historical evidence and briefing materials.
