At the CPL class that I took last week in Marquette County, taught by a local deputy sheriff, he told us that open carry is allowed in Michigan, but that we weren't allowed to OC in the City of Marquette, because the city had passed an ordinance forbidding it.
I thought that Michigan had a firearms law preemption clause that says that cities can't pass gun laws more restrictive than the state law? I should have asked in class, but I wasn't sure enough of myself on this point to argue with him.
Any thoughts or informed opinions on this?
