I'll leave that one to someone from MI. In an interesting twist, as an Illinois resident with a FOID card, I can open carry in Michigan but not in my own state. As a Wisconsin resident you can open carry in your state but since WI has no permit/license for purchase or possession you can not OC in Michigan.

Michigan honors other states permits but the permit holder must be a resident of the state they hold the permit for. An Ohio resident with an Ohio permit is recognized but an Ohio resident with a Utah non res permit is not.

Does that make sense?

Yes, but doesn't answer the root of my question. WI does not have a permit system, so in order for me to carry in many other states, I have a Utah non-resident permit. I understand that MI does not honor non-resident permits, but I want to know why it is setup that way. After all, the CCW course should all be pretty similar.

I can't answer that part of your question. It may have something to do with the required training but I don't know. There are a couple other states like MI that don't recognize non-rez permits.

Sorry

Most of Michigan's gun laws that have been around for a while were started because of KKK influence in the legislature.

With Michigans gun laws, as with all gun laws that infringe on the rights of good people, they either don't make sense, or were put into law by people consumed with hatred, or those controlled by such people. Anti gun measures are not, and cannot be put in place for a good reason.

I'm not 100% sure and I have nothing to cite, but IMO, itmay be the same reason why we now haveCDL's. It would eliminate (mostly) the possiblity of alicense/permit holder whowas suspended/revoked to obtain another license/permit from another state to carry here.

SO they don't accept FLA. non-res. CC? We have OC in WIsconsin, if you don't mind peeling cops off of you. Not an enlightened society here yet.

My record in Michigan is 7 cops for lawful, warrantless and suspicionless OCing on my own. So I'd say we're still close to Wisconsin for bad police encounters. But I'd like to think that the situation is improving by the day.

That was a fun day, wasn't it? As crappy as it is to be surrounded by 7 unfriendlies, the result was sweeping changes in their awareness and handling of open carry. A fantastic result that indicates that you are right, things are improving, and it is largely due to this crowd.

We do not register our firearms in WI, not sure if you guys there do or not, so I'm not sure about A. For B, I take it you just need to have a CCW permit on you, correct? Then C, do I need to have my receipt of purchase, or do they just run the serial, or how do police there react to firearms? I've only been perusing through the Michigan threads and haven't been real active, so I've seen both good and bad encounters.

From past discussions with residents of Wisconsin it was concluded they COULD NOT bring a handgun to Michigan and carry it.

You don't have a registration (License) for the handgun issued by your state, you don't have a valid CPL (It has to be from your own state.) so right there you don't qualify.

This is a real violation of federal law and a suit should be brought against the state of Michigan, or the law is changed, until then you are out of luck.

Thank you for the clarification Venator. If I had the money, I would first fix our laws in WI, then try to do something for those IL people. In all actuality, a suit brought to the federal government would fix all our laws, but we know how so many people pander to "feelings" instead of rights.
