You can go alone. As I understand it, Michigan is a rural open carry state so make sure you are in the right place. Take along a voice recorder, electronic ones are best. And wear it out of sight.

Michigan is Open Carry......Period. There are some restrictions however. Heres a quick run down:
If you dont have a CPL, YOU MUST OPEN CARRY (If you are 18 years of age or older, and you may lawfully own a gunand the pistol you're carrying is registered to you). Which means when you enter your vehicle, the weapon is therefore considered concealed, and needs to be transported ( [font="Arial, Helvetica"]MCL 750.231a[/font] ) properly. But, you cannot (not necessarily, see MCL 750.234d & MCL 28.425o) OC in Michigans Gun Free Zones.
If you have a CPL, you are free toOCin most,if not all, of Michigans Gun FreeZones, but, you are not allowed to CC in the gun free zones, even with a CPL.Correct, see MCL 28.425o.

Isnt there a petition right now to get Texas OC?Cool, thanks for the education, I wasn't sure is why I said "As I understand it". Must have been mixed up with another state in that area.
I'm in Texas and we can't carry squat without permission from mommy.
Yeah, but petitions mean doodly squat here. We don't havethe right of referendum. It's just to get their attention.Isnt there a petition right now to get Texas OC?
That's really nice of you but if you don't have an IN. permit you can't carry in MI.PM me when you want to do it and I'll see if my schedule allows. I'm in South Bend so St Joseph is not too far of a drive.
