Private property non-cpl concealed carry

First off non-cpl is the base for this question and sorry if this was covered but trying to understand this better.

So on my property I can carry concealed.
If a non-cpl buddy comes over for a bbq I as the owner/agent of the property I can grant him the ability to conceal on my property.
Correct?

Just a question in general.
I thought I could grant cc'ing as the property owner.

Also I since I am not a cpl holder I do not have to disclose to LEO I am armed?

Correct?

but

A: He can open carry as long as you give him permission

B: ...if he is concealing at your house are you going to call the police on him?

First off bottom line is that the police would have to have a very good reason to come onto your property, then to approach you, then ask if your company is carrying concealed. 

Now Private property over rides all law gun laws on possession. It does not clarify OC or CC it just says Possession. there for if there is no law saying Private property over ride all laws on possession except CC, it is left to interpretation. Same as OC there is no MCL permitting you OC there for it is legal because there is no law against.

It has been debated that cocaine, pot, etc. cannot be used on private property, so cc w/o a permit cannot, but cocaine is an Illegal substance, yet I can drive a car on my property while drinking, and I can operate a motorcycle or snowmobile w/o a helmet. All these laws as well as Gun laws on possession are to regulate use and carry in public. Now we just had a meet where the owner of a bar/bowling alley allowed us to OC in the place w/o a CPL, if he can let us OC with out a cpl, which there is a law saying you must have a CPL to OC in a bar etc. Then I cannot see where you allowing a person w/o a CPL to CC is illegal on Private property.

Me and the ol'lady were just talking about this. I feel the same way. After MCL was posted I was reading it and thought that it holds no weight on private property also but haven't searched it.

The bbq question was a to set up another question about owner/agent of a business asking non-cpl to cover up.

If this is the case. If you make them clarify that they as the owner/agent have given you permission to CC.

I agree with everything you say above Mike, except, in an establishment that serves, or sells Alcohol you must by law have a CPL to OC, but the law allows the owner to allow the Non CPL person to OC w/0, now the law does explicitly say an Owner/agent that is controlled by the Comission , but I feel the reason the law states it in print is because there are stipulations in an Alcohol establishment, where there is no stipulation on non alcohol Private property. I cannot articulate and type fast enough to get my point across, all I know is there is no law that says I cannot grant permission, same as there is no law that says I cannot OC

I think I understand what your saying but this is always a great topic because it's trying to put a few laws together and trying to understand how private property rights fit in.

I agree there is no law that says you cannot grant permissions but there is also no law that says you can. Where there are laws stating specific where people cannot CC. In this circumstance I feel since there is no law that says you are allowed to exempt someone from a law stating where people can CC then I believe it would be illegal.

I'm not a lawyer just trying to apply common sense to laws that are vague and misleading.

As I see it we're tangling the issue up a bit here.

Private property rights trump all. Except when that private property is specifically regulated for another reason or when the activity(s) or item(s) in question are completely illegal, such as cocaine or home-made nuclear reactors.

I would say it's perfectly legal to CC with permission on someone's private property IF that property is not specifically regulated. (By specifically regulated I mean it has a set of laws aimed at it due to it's use or business, such as alcohol sales.)
