Open Carry ANYWHERE with a CCW. School, church, police station, etc.

571.107. 2 says "Carrying of a concealed firearm in a location specified in subdivisions (1) to (17) of subsection 1 of this section by any individual who holds a concealed carry permit..."

Says nothing about OC. So the penalty for OC in a place you can't could be MUCH more severe.

Generally the absence of reference (in this case not concealed/OC) means that that issue is not in violation. Might have to hash that out in court though.

True, I'll admit I don't know much about OCing. I was just putting this info out there since Grizzly25 also said CC in his post when asking about fines.

Yes, you are correct. You can open carry in all the places that were formally prohibited for concealed carry with a CCW as per 571.030

The day SB 656, I called my friend in St. Louis and told him about this.

If you guys push it, which you should. Get ready for years and years of battles. This is what we deal with in Michigan. I do recommend pushing the ability to openly carry in schools. The law now allows it.

When I need to open carry, I just take off my jacket or tuck in the shirt.

Just making sure you were legit

Be careful even doing that though.

When I need to conceal carry, I just reverse the process. I never even need to touch the gun or holster.

Forgive me for going a bit off topic (though it was brought up earlier), I'm curious about the no holster thing at the range.

I'm in Michigan, so if that makes a difference, but I've been to numerous ranges, shooting IDPA most times, but not always, and I've never run across any place that didn't allow the use of a holster..

Please explain the rationale....
