There is a difference between Registered and CCW
There is a difference between Registered and CCW
Just because a gun is registered (owned by the original buyer who filled out the proper paper work), doesn't mean he can carry it. You must have a CCW (concealed carry weapons permit) to have the gun in your possession while it is loaded and concealed.
In Michigan a CCW is no longer tied to one gun, it is tied to the person who took the certification class; and they may carry any gun that is lawfully registered.

Even if the gun is registered, he has a duty to let the officer know about the gun as soon as the officer makes contact with him. This is so the officer isn't surprised when they find the gun in the vehicle. BTW, what does he need a gun in E. Lansing for exactly?

I learned that it's been an MSU thing for a long time
Last Sunday at our church the Head Coach of Bucknell Wrestling spoke about how he had turned his life around. He talked about how right before his senior year at MSU he was charged with 3 counts of Possesion with intent to Deliver MJ.
He wasn't immediately thrown off the team, but was told that if he was still facing a felony he would not be attending school any longer. In a meeting with the DA his lawyer mentioned lowering to misdimeanors. DA said, 1 maybe, 2 doubtful, but 3 no way.
(Insert Church part here)
By trial date it wasn't 3 counts, it was one misdimeanor and he was a B10 Champion his Sr year.
I'm not bagging on Wirnsberger, just showing that Sparty did this long before Dantonio got there

Did you just slip in a "Not" joke there? When I was 10, my Michigan friends and I had t-shirts made that said "Go State!" on the front and "Not!" in big letters on the back. We were the coolest...that was over 20 years ago though.

"Ok, great. What if it was a backup, and you had an opportunity to make an example of him."

Dantonio Cup
Even though these transgressions should count toward the Fulmer Cup, so much of Sparty's criminal activity takes place during the season (and, therefore, doesn't count toward FC) that it seems appropriate for a well-respected site like this to create a Dantonio Cup (to include in-season arrests).

These stories won't go away
As long as Dantonio keeps slapping the wrist of his players, the players will continue to keep getting in trouble. Dantonio is lenient it's almost like he's encouraging his players to keep getting in trouble with the law.
You've created a cycle of disobedience, Dantonio, and it's just going to keep getting worse.

I see Saint Dantonio as an enabler. He may not encourage criminal behavior, but he certainly ls quick to let anyone who can help back on the team ASAP.
Maybe they should call it the Dantonio Cup instead of the Fulmer Cup.

Owning a firearm is a constitutionally protected INDIVIDUAL right. If he owned it legally, so be it.
I have firearms in my car routinely, and have been pulled over while my firearms are legally stored in my trunk, separate of ammunition ;) ( for you mgopolice).
When asked if there is anything in my vehicle a cop should know about by the police my answer is no. I have zero reason to disclose why my legally transported firearm is in the vehicle. I lived with the blatanty unconstitutional and illegal dc firearms ban.
