H o m e l e s s dispute
on M a y 17 agenda
The controversy over homeless
people staying at First United
Methodist Church will get attention
May 17 at the Plymouth
Township hall.
Township planning commissioners
are scheduled to hear a
propoaal from the church on how
the planned homeless stay this
fall could comply with township
codes.
"We'll be looking to see if it's
compatible with the general
area." said Shirley Barney, director
of community development.
The church was ticketed last
fall for allowing homeleas people
to stay overnight at the church
The homeleas stay is part of an
effort by several suburban
churches to provide temporary
shelter for homeleas people.
First United Methodist officials
stress that the homeleas stays
have not been challenged by local
governments in other communities.
A hearing on the matter ached
uled laat month in 35th District
Court was delayed, as Judge John
Mac Donald ordered both aides to
work out a solution.

Concealed weapons bill has gun owners smiling
criminal justice training. Yea, pest training will
BY TIM RICHARD
ST AIT WWT*B
One state gun board would replace 83 inconsistent
county fun boards under a state House bill supported
by area gun owners.
And the burden of proof would be on police to
prove someone shouldn't be issued a concealed
weapons permit .rather than on the citizen to prove
he should be iaaued a CCW permit.
"What an improvement over laat year!" said Joseph
Ditxhazy aa his Gun Owners of Southeastern
Michigan applauded the bills by Rep. Alan Cropsey,
R-Dewitt.
"We'd become a 'shell-issue' state," said Tom
Halick, en attorney and House staff member wbo
outlined the bill to GOSELM Thursday, April 20, in
the Livonia Civic Center Library.
"Every person haa a right to keep and beer arms
for the defense of himself and the state," said Halick,
reading from the Michigan Constitution.
Under the Cropeey bills, gun permits would be issued
by the Secretary of State's office, which would
be required to issue the CCW permit to an applicant
who pass** a criminal background check, mental ill-
neas background check and training requirements,
and who ian't subject to e court order against owning
s handgun.
'The (current) system ia not fair," said Halick, a
graduate of Birmingham Grovee High. Michigan
State University and Cooley Law School. "We say,
'Come in and get your driver's licenae.' We don't ask.
'Why do you need a driver's licenae? Can't you walk
to work? Can't you take a bus?'
"1 got a pamphlet from the Lansing police department
on defending yourself from attack. It mentions
karate. It mentions active resistance It suggests
weapons such as hair apray, nail files, pins and keys
But there's no mention of firearms (for self-defense).
"Come on, guys, get out your hair apray." Halick
said, his tone heavy with irony. The gun owners
howled erith laughter.
Halick said that under the Cropsey bUl, police
could no longer confiscate a handgun but would
have to use civU forfeiture proceedings in court to
take away a handgun.
Ditzhazy added his licks against prosecutors who
say "you have to have a concealed weapons permit to

Here are Halick'a anawers to audience queetiona:
Q. Where Is the bill and how eaa It be advanced?
A. In the Houae Judiciary Committee, where chair
Michael Nye, R-Litchfield, held one hearing late in
1994.
Said Ditzhazy; "We need to hammer both (Repe.
Jim) Ryan and (Lyn) Bankes," both Republicans
from Redford.
Shouted a member of the audience: "We need to
hammer the out of (Willis) Bullard (R-
Milford)."
Q. How many votes will It take?
A. Nine of the 17 members. Support from at least
eight Republicans will be needed. One Republican,
Frank Fitzgerald of Grand Ledge, is seen as a "tough
sell."
Q. What kind of training will be required for a
CCW penult? Does pest training qualify?
A. Military training. A National Rifle Aasociation
course. Hunter safety from a conservation club. A
community college course. Any course that's part of
count.
Q. How long do local police have to i to
requests for background checks and U to take your
fingerprinta?
A. First, you ask the Secretary of State's office for
a CCW kit and pay $36.
Next, a police or aheriffa department must take
your fingerprints within 72 hours of your request —
no long deleys. Polk* may charge up to $15. They
must use the form in your kit.
State Police end FBI must check the prints and
send s record to the Secretary of State within 45
days after fingerprints are submitted. If they fail to
meet that deadline, the Secretary of State "shall not
refuse to issue" a CCW permit.
Police may object to issuance of a CCW with "specific
and articulable facts" — no blanket opposition,
aa some suburban police departments are alleged to
do.
Refer to House Bill 4720 when writing to the House
Judiciary Committee or your state representative.
