He is not charged with any crime concerning carry, right? This is related to alleged impeding a police investigation and resisting arrest?

Are you sure about that?

http://ezinearticles.com/?Have-We-Lost-the-Right-of-Self-Defense?&id=1539772

From the article:
Assaulting, resisting, or obstructing an officer while he is performing his duty must be avoided for the safety of all society, regardless of the legality of the arrest. It is the immediate harm that can be attendant to an arrest when a subject engages in assault, resistant, or obstructive behavior that the Legislature seeks to eradicate. Solid mechanisms are in place to guarantee the safety of those arrested, and, to correct any injustices that may result from an illegal arrest. The statute at issue, MCL 750.81d, now serves as another mechanism to reduce the likelihood and magnitude of the potential dangers inherent in an arrest situation, thereby dually protecting both the general public and its police officers.

If you are involved in a traffic stop and you ask the police officer why you were pulled over, have you "obstructed" or "opposed" the officer in the execution of his duties? Can you interfere in a five on one police beating of a suspect? This happened in New Orleans after Katrina. Can you interfere when the police tazer a woman to death in an airport? This happened in an airport in Phoenix, Arizona. It seems that a citizen cannot act pursuant to their own judgment and conscience to intervene on another's behalf when the police have engaged in clearly unlawful conduct without risking being charged with a felony under any circumstances. If you happen to disagree with the Michigan Court of Appeals on this issue, the best thing you can do is contact your state legislator or join a political action committee that shares your opinion.

“An illegal arrest is an assault and battery. The person so attempted to be restrained of his liberty has the same right to use force in defending himself as he would in repelling any other assault and battery.” (State v. Robinson, 145 ME. 77, 72 ATL. 260).
“Each person has the right to resist an unlawful arrest. In such a case, the person attempting the arrest stands in the position of a wrongdoer and may be resisted by the use of force, as in self- defense.” (State v. Mobley, 240 N.C. 476, 83 S.E. 2d 100).


and this is just a very wise statement


As for grounds for arrest: “The carrying of arms in a quiet, peaceable, and orderly manner, concealed on or about the person, is not a breach of the peace. Nor does such an act of itself, lead to a breach of the peace.” (Wharton’s Criminal and Civil Procedure, 12th Ed., Vol.2: Judy v. Lashley, 5 W. Va. 628, 41 S.E. 197)
