In a move that sent shockwaves through the Second Amendment community, the Wayne Police Department in Michigan recently unveiled a controversial change to their gun permit processing hours.
According to a tweet that has since been deleted but caused quite the stir, the department planned to limit permit processing to just one day a week, specifically Wednesdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. You heard it right—only four hours in a whole week, provided they don’t decide to take a lunch break during that narrow window.

Understandably, this decision sparked a significant backlash. The outcry was loud and clear, leading to the tweet’s removal. In an attempt to mitigate the damage and address the concerns, the department offered an updated schedule: Monday through Thursday, 9 am to 2 pm.
While slightly better, this adjustment still falls short of providing adequate access for many working individuals seeking to exercise their right to a concealed carry permit. You can read their revised statement here.
This entire episode underscores a deeper issue that goes beyond inconvenient scheduling. It highlights a disturbing trend where government entities, even at the state level, display a blatant disregard for the right of citizens to bear arms—a right enshrined in the Constitution. The push for constitutional carry has never been more critical. When rights are treated as privileges, subject to governmental whims, we must stand vigilant against such encroachments.
The restrictive nature of concealed carry permits, especially in areas controlled by certain political factions, is a longstanding gripe within our community. The Supreme Court’s intervention to demand more lenient gun permit processes in some regions speaks volumes about the uphill battle for our rights.
Wayne’s move is a clear manifestation of this struggle, particularly poignant given that Wayne County, along with Gogebic County, has consistently voted for one party since 1980.
This episode from Wayne, Michigan, is a microcosm of a broader national issue—a two-party system where one side seems determined to undermine the Second Amendment at every turn. The attempt to limit permit processing to a mere four hours a week is almost laughable if it weren’t so inherently concerning. It’s reminiscent of the infamous unreliability of McDonald’s ice cream machines, yet far less amusing given the stakes.
In the face of such challenges, the importance of voting for politicians who support constitutional carry cannot be overstated. Those who do not back this fundamental right clearly do not value the freedoms our Constitution guarantees.
This situation begs the question: Is the revised schedule of 5 hours over 4 days a week sufficient for full-time workers to secure a concealed carry permit? Your thoughts on this matter are invaluable.
