MCL 750.227 further backs up my claim...
(2) A person shall not carry a pistol concealed on or about his or her person, or, whether concealed or otherwise, in a vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, place of business, or on other land possessed by the person, without a license to carry the pistol as provided by law and if licensed, shall not carry the pistol in a place or manner inconsistent with any restrictions upon such license.
Yet another peice of legislation that suggests it's possible to carry a pistol NOT concealed inside of a vehicle.
I agree that you need a CPL to carry a pistol in a vehicle - PERIOD. I do not agree that you ALWAYS have to disclose just because you are excercising a privilege granted by said license. The license gives us several priviliges (carrying concealed, carrying in a vehicle, openly carrying in a pistol free zone, carrying in places with liquor licenses, etc.). However, the only time we have to disclose is when excercising the particular privilege of carrying concealed.
