Safe Firearm Storage Laws
Subject: Important Notice Regarding Safe Firearm Storage Laws in Michigan
Dear Rayder Families,
As part of our commitment to student safety and in compliance with Michigan’s Safe Storage Laws MCL 28.429, MCL 380.1313a, and MCL 380.1313b, we are now required to share important information with all families regarding the secure storage of firearms by October 1st of each new school year.
Securely storing firearms protects children and helps prevent tragedies. Michigan law now requires that firearms be stored in a locked container or equipped with a locking device if a minor is or is likely to be present on the premises.
Please review the following resources:
These resources provide best practices and legal guidance on firearm safety in the home.
We encourage all families to take time to review this important information. If you have questions, you may contact the Michigan Department of Education’s Office of Health and Safety at MDE-OHS@Michigan.gov.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for working with us to keep our school community safe.
Sincerely,
Mike Ritter, Superintendent
Charlevoix Public Schools
