In Michgan you can open carry, and there is a law that says no cities or townships can override state laws and pass gun laws that override state law. If you have a CPL you can open carry or CC. If you don't have a CPL, transporting your weapon is a pain, must be locked in the trunk unloaded (or locked in a box if no trunk), ammo separated, when you get to where your going you can get your gun, put it on, load it, and open carry. When going back to the car, you unload it, lock it up, separate the ammo from it all, and drive on. It's such a pain most people just get the CPL and transportation issues all go away no matter how you carry it. Lots of people that live in Michigan are not aware we have open carry for some reason, most are surprised to hear it. A few more are doing it though the last couple of years. Most people CC.
You can't go to an "entertainment" place that "seats" 2500 people or more, inside a school, hospital or casino, a bar that makes most it's money on booze (dinner places that serve are OK)...you can now pick your kids up at school in the parking lot, and be in pistol free parking lots metioned above now due to slight changes in the law, but don't go in the buildings, stay away. Best not drink a drop where your having dinner, there is no way to pass that test, and you need permission from the head of your church to go in there. Banks are OK. That's kind of weird...Banks OK...Casino's not OK. Wonder who thinks these things up.
