The bill amends section 227 of the Michigan penal code, specifically addressing the regulations surrounding the carrying of certain weapons. It prohibits individuals from carrying daggers, dirks, stilettos, double-edged nonfolding stabbing instruments, or any other dangerous weapon longer than 5 inches, with exceptions for hunting or fishing knives that are adapted and carried as such. The bill clarifies that these weapons may only be carried in the person's dwelling house, place of business, or on land they possess.

Additionally, the bill outlines restrictions on carrying concealed pistols, stating that individuals must have a license to carry a pistol and must adhere to any restrictions placed on that license. The penalties for violating these regulations remain a felony, punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of up to $2,500. The amendments aim to clarify the language and conditions under which individuals may carry weapons in Michigan.
