People could legally carry concealed guns inside schools, churches and other pistol-free zones under legislation advancing in the state legislature.
The Senate approved the bills ding away with the ban on concealed pistol license holders from carrying in nine types of buildings, so-called gun-free zones.
The legislation would let privately owned businesses keep their premises gun-free. But it would legalize the right to carry in public buildings if gun owners receive extra training.
Gov. Rick Snyder, in 2012, vetoed a similar bill.
