Ok guys, I've been asked this twice recently and I don't know the answer(no surprise):banghead:

How long has open carry been legal in Mich? I had heard from one source, since 1911, fact or BS? I would like to answer this on the radio show. If anyone knows call in and let me know the answer.

Thanks, Jerry

At that time there were local ordinances against it. But in general there was no state law against open carry.
