Below is directy copied out of the most current copy of Detroit's code of ordinances.
DIVISION 4. FIREARMS*
__________
*Cross references: Use of firearms in parks, § 40-1-26.
__________
Sec. 38-10-57. Reserved.
Editor's note: Ord. No. 25-86, § 1, adopted Nov. 26, 1986, repealed § 38-10-57, defining "firearm," as derived from § 66-4-1 of the 1964 Code. Firearm is defined in § 38-10-1.
Sec. 38-10-58. Transportation in vehicles; carrying in public.
It shall be unlawful for any person to carry a pistol concealed on or about his or her person, or whether concealed or otherwise, in a vehicle operated or occupied by him or her, contrary to the State Concealed Weapons Licensing law. Except for a pistol carried or transported lawfully under the State Concealed Weapons Licensing Law, it shall be unlawful for any person to carry a firearm on any public street or in a public place unless it is unloaded and in a case, or to transport or have in or upon any vehicle occupied by him or her any firearm unless the firearm is unloaded in both barrel and magazine and is taken down, enclosed in a case, carried in the luggage compartment of the vehicle or inaccessible from the interior of the vehicle.
(Code 1964, § 66-4-2; Ord. No. 25-86, § 1, 11-26-86)
Cross references: Traffic and motor vehicles, Ch. 55.
Sec. 38-10-59. Exemptions.
Police officers, peace officers and persons in the military service, in pursuit of official duty, and persons duly authorized by federal or state law to carry firearms, are exempt from the provisions of this division.
(Code 1964, § 66-4-3)
To me the area I put in bold text contradicts the pre-emption law of the state.Also there is a section that states firearm laws are not pre empted by the state. Unfortunately their site stopped functioning so I was unable to copy and paste it here.
I am currently writing a brief to the city council as is their requirement for any matter that is brought before them. I will be turning the brief in on Monday. By submitting this brief I will be entitled to speak at a city council meeting.
Any input would be appreciated. Also anyone who would be willing to go to the meeting please PM me. It may get scheduled for Tuesday January 5. If not it will be on February's calendar. Hopefully this small step will help get Detroit moving in the right directon concerning open carry.
