I have worked with the Genesee County parks for the last year. And got them to recognized the preemption law. They rewrote their rules and regs this year to express that change. The Ranger or cop only has to read the book.

The red that means us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just talked with Officer Mike Fioucci at the Park ranger station.

He assured me that CPL/CCW and open carry are perfectly legal in all Genesee parks. As expressed in the parks rules and regs.
I asked that he or the chief refresh their officers about CPL/CCW is legal in all of the parks.
One may be stopped if they get a citizen's report of gun carry. Or checked about hunting. ie no hunting permitted .
If you have any other questions PM me.

The red part, does that include a person that does not have a CPL? If it doesn't then it is
still illegal. The
preemption covers anybody that can lawfully own a handgun and is carrying said gun in a lawful manner or for a lawful purpose. A hollow victory if one at all. Get them to take out all firearm bans. Illegalfirearm possession is already covered by state law.
