these scientific measures.

Michigan will certainly be hit hard

Mr. Thomas Conlin.
Crystal Falls, Mich,
Dear Sir -
In your last issue of the Diamond
Drill" l noticed an item in connection
with the carrying of concealed wea.
pons. You seem to have slightly mis-
understood me and take these means
OF correcting any misunderstanding
that may exist on the subject. The
carrying Of concealed weapons is--not
misdemeanor as stated in your paper,
but constitutes felony. Your article
also might give the impression that
anyone could apply to the County Clerk
and obtain gun license. did not
mean to convey that idea in my inter-
view with you.
The law provides that even all peace
officers must obtain gun license in
order TO carry weapons concealed upon
their persons and gnn licenses will be
issued co private individuals only in
case where the licensing board is fully
satisfied of the fitness of tho person to
carry one and the necessity arising
from the nature of his employment to
go armed.
II is the duty of the licensing board
to meet on the first Monday Of every
month in the County Clerks Office and
all applications for gun licenses will
be acted upon by the board at those
sessions
Yours very truly,
August j. Waffen. !.
