Rep. Johnsen invites locals to an open dialogue about Second Amendment rights

State Rep. Gina Johnsen (R-Lake Odessa) invites her constituents in the 78th House District to attend an informational townhall meeting in Portland regarding recent changes to Second Amendment rights in Michigan.

Joining to help answer questions will be Rep. Phil Green, chair of the House Second Amendment Caucus, Ionia County Sheriff Charlie Noll, and Professor William Wagner, a constitutional expert and former federal judge.

“Several laws were passed last year that affect Second Amendment rights of Michiganders,” Johnsen said. “Including red flag laws, safe storage laws, and others that will impact gun ownership and the right to self-defense. I voted against these measures, but they were passed despite strong Republican opposition. I want to ensure the people I represent are aware of these drastic changes to our state law.”

The townhall meeting will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 22 at the Wagon Wheel restaurant located at 7888 E. Grand River Ave. in Portland. An RSVP is encouraged, but not required. Attendees may RSVP to ginajohnsen@house.mi.gov.

This announcement is a press release from the office of State Representative Gina Johnsen.
