"Michigan Man Charged After Toddler Shoots Herself, Prompting First Case Under Gun Storage Law"

A Michigan man has pleaded not guilty after becoming the first person charged under the state’s new law requiring safe storage of guns, following his 2-year-old daughter shooting herself with his revolver. Michael Tolbert faces nine felony charges, including first-degree child abuse and violation of Michigan’s gun storage law, with his daughter remaining hospitalized in critical condition. The incident occurred the day after the new law took effect, and Tolbert was found to have unsecured and loaded guns in his home.

Michigan enacts gun safety measures with universal background checks and safe storage laws.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed two gun safety bills into law requiring universal background checks for all gun sales and safe storage of firearms and ammunition in homes. The legislation comes after a gunman opened fire at two locations on Michigan State University's main campus in East Lansing in February, shooting eight students, three fatally. The first law requires anyone who does not have a gun license to undergo a federal national instant criminal background check before purchasing a gun, while the second law introduces new safe storage requirements to ensure children do not have access to guns and ammunition being stored at home.

Michigan Governor Signs Gun Violence Prevention Bills into Law.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation aimed at preventing gun violence by expanding background checks and establishing penalties for those who fail to keep firearms out of the hands of children. The bills also require gun owners to store their firearms in a locked container or use a locking device if they have a child in the house or take their gun somewhere a child could gain access to it. Whitmer repeated her call for lawmakers to send legislation to create a so-called "red flag law" her way.
