You're wrong.
Michigan's Administrative code defines a CASINO as a building where gambling takes place. Further, it defines a CASINO ENTERPRISE as the entire premises where a casino is located, including all property owned by the enterprise.
A CASINO is ONLY the building. A CASINO ENTERPRISE includes the parking lot.
One cannot carry into a CASINO, but they CAN, however, carry in every other part of the CASINO ENTERPRISE.

432.202 Definitions.
(g) "Casino" means a building in which gaming is conducted.
(h) "Casino enterprise" means the buildings, facilities, or rooms functionally or physically connected to a casino, including but not limited to any bar, restaurant, hotel, cocktail lounge, retail establishment, or arena or any other facility located in a city under the control of a casino licensee or affiliated company.
I guess we have to look at what the rules in regards to R432.1212 say. If they say no firearms then we may not be able to have them in parking lots. If the Statute only applies to "Casinos" proper then why not say that. Instead the say...
"shall not carry a concealed pistol in
violation of R 432.1212 or a successor rule of the Michigan administrative code promulgated under the Michigan gaming control and revenue act, 1996 IL 1, MCL 432.201 to 432.226."
I can't seem to find what R432.1212 states.
