We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Your Georgia CPL is recognized in Michigan. You can OC everywhere you are allowed to CC by Michigan law. The places you can not conceal are below. Having said that While OC is growing in Michigan many PD's are still not aware that it's legal or they do but discourage it. So you could have interaction with LEO's. Stay calm and inform them that it is legal and stand your ground...politely.

Also know that you can't carry concealed if your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is over .02.
Not that it won't be met with a call to the local PD, and there is a rumor of a court case to the contrary, a person licensed to carry concealed can OC in the above places.

"It is my opinion, therefore, that a uniformed reserve police officer acting as an unpaid volunteer for a local police agency may carry an exposed, holstered pistol within the gun-free zones established by the Concealed Pistol Licensing Act; and if the officer is either a fully authorized “peace officer” or, alternatively, possesses a valid concealed pistol license issued under the Concealed Pistol Licensing Act, he or she may also carry an exposed, holstered pistol within the gun-free zones established by the Michigan Penal Code.
