Dewhurt has been a good friend of gun owners for a long time. IIRC he was very important in getting the Motorist Protection Act passed a couple sessions back.

Do I understand correctly that the Senate has no calendars committee where bills can get lost for weeks or months?

Hardly. There is a calendar committee for both the house and senate.

The Senate does not have a Calendars Committee. It takes 21 votes (2/3) to bring a bill to the floor for debate. This procedure takes the place of a Calendars Committee.
