hi, i was referd to this site by a couple of members of THR website. they informed me that i could open carry, which i had thought was not legal here in michigan, mostly because of 2 reasons. 1) NOBODY i have ever seen open carry's (except L.E.O.'s. and 2) when i picked up my cpl (ccw) permit, the sherrif deputy informed me that doing this constituted brandishing, and i coule eventually end up losing my cpl if i did this under the right circumstances. so i have just been carrying concealed. actually, the only reason i got a cpl in the first place was because i thought it was illegal to open carry. now that i have my cpl, i am happy i do have it. anyway, back to open carry. i have a couple of questions about doing this. i see that there are organized events, and that is fine, i wouldnt expect to be hassled by leos there. but what type of problems can i expect if i open carry when i am alone, just doing my thing. shopping, traveling, normal everyday stuff. second, i think i read someplace that wal-mart is not a place to open carry, i think i read they will call the cops. does anybody know if this is true? 3) what about gas stations, etc.? thanks, d.s.
