‘Not a guitar player’s hunch’: Fired up Ted Nugent testifies at Michigan State Capitol
- On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, Ted Nugent testified at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing during a combined session of three House committees, where he criticized the Department of Natural Resources.
- Nugent spoke due to his opposition to DNR and Natural Resources Commission regulations, including the 2018 deer baiting ban meant to limit chronic wasting disease spread.
- During the visit, Nugent carried a concealed weapon that passed through a functioning detection system but was initially missed by a trooper until after Nugent left the screening area.
- An official from the Michigan State Police confirmed that the weapons detection system alerted as intended, and after being informed of the policy, Nugent complied by no longer carrying a weapon.
- The incident triggered an ongoing state police investigation and prompted evaluations to prevent future security lapses while Nugent continued urging lawmakers to loosen DNR restrictions.
