Story

In the United States, on October 8, during a traffic stop in Detroit, Michigan, police discovered a registered gun on the floor of a car driven by Jameson Williams' brother. Although the gun was registered to Williams, he did not possess a concealed-pistol license (CPL) at the time of the stop. Under Michigan law, individuals without a CPL must keep their registered firearms in a closed case within a vehicle. Williams' brother had a permit, and the prosecutor noted that the circumstances surrounding the case were unclear and did not align with previous cases. On November 6, Williams obtained his CPL. Following the traffic stop, he was briefly detained but later released with his firearm. Prosecutor Kym Worthy expressed that clarity is required for future cases involving multiple firearms in vehicles.
