Yes, that's what it means.I have a hard time comprehending this legal stuff sometimes. what exactly does this mean-
"shall not intentionally display or openly carry a pistol on the premises listed in subsection (1)(a) to (h)"
does it mean that if 59 passes we could ONLY cc in the current PFZ's?
does it affect OC in any areas other than current PFZ's
I just read through it, and I didn't see that, where is it?
If it is in there, we need to focus on getting the house to strip it out in committee.
By the way, what was the benefit, if any, to be found in the bill?
The benefit is that one would be allowed to conceal in this state without Pistol Free Zones (Except courthouses and casinos, of course).
With the tradeoff being that you can't OPENLY carry in these same PFZs.
So you're basically allowing 330,000 people to carry concealed where they couldn't before in exchange for the hundred-odd people who were carrying there before.
If the house strips it, it goes back to the senate to pass again.
but all that is moot, since the Governor has said he'll only sign it if the OC prohibition is there.
do you think this is retaliation for the MOC(and others) going after Randy?
so there is confirmation snyder would sign it with the OC provision?
I don't believe so. It's due to Snyder
Yes, as much as a politician can be believed.
So we'd basically be reversing roles.
Currently a CCer, if he wants to carry in a CC PFZ, must switch to OC.
If this passes then when an OCer w/CPL enters into a PFZ, he would have to switch to CC.
Is that the nuts & bolts of it?

Yup. And as one of the more active supporters of open carry and MOC, I believe it is totally worth it. Eliminate pistol free zones for CC and we'll deal with the anti OC provision down the road.
Think about it, we are trading a grey area loophole(not grey you say, ask Judge Aquilina) that some OCers who have CPL's don't even use for the the ability of all CPL holders to CC in 99% of the state.
