Ok, my buddy is a good guy, means well, and if he takes the intellectual high road, I think he'll make a great cop.
He just graduated from Detroit PD's academy, so I thought I would get his reaction to the recent DPD cluster, and sent him the link: http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum30/25453.html
I'm kind of at a loss how to respond, because I want to use some pejorative words, but he is a good friend after all.
Help me out here. What's factually wrong, and how can I firmly correct him on it?
Give him a break on grammar and format, it was an informal facebook message.

I asked where, exactly, that info came from, and his reply:the open carry thing... he is actually in violation of state statues. Once you have a "ccw" cpl you are obligated to comply with the laws in relation to a cpl.. you are now governed by those laws. once you have a cpl you no longer have the option of open carry. you MUST conceal your pistol at all times. He could lose his cpl.
as far as the officers behavior i dont agree with it but i dont like someone being a smart ass to me and being i know the laws regarding "ccw" i might have his @#$% revoked. his rights were violated in respect that they tried to charge him with something he wasnt doing however they could detain him after finding out he had a cpl... its a concealed pistols license... conceal your pistol.
here is the catch to open carry. you can openly carry a firearm in a holster in MI. once you get into a car you are in violation of ccw which is a felony. in order to transport a firearm legally gun and ammo separated and firearm out of reach. but for legal purposes so to and from a gun range or gun shop.
open carry is still legal but in order to do so its very difficult. one of those laws that needs to be changed but hasnt been like how its technically illegal to live with a girl you are having sex with. lude and lascivious behavior look it up. crazy @#$%.
it is what we learned in the law portion of academy... if you are interested i will try to look for the statues in my pen code book monday.
if this applies to you... STOP OPEN CARRY
also what was explained when I received my license
