This is not the entirety of Division 2, just the relevant parts as I understand them to be.

Ecorse Code

Division 2. WEAPONS GENERALLY

Sec. 17-112. Exemptions.

Police 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.

Sec. 17-114. Transportation.
It shall be unlawful for any person to transport or to have in possession in or upon any vehicle, a firearm unless the same be unloaded in both the barrel and magazine and carried in the luggage compartment of the vehicle. It shall be unlawful to carry a firearm on any public street or in any public place unless it is unloaded and in a case.

Sec. 17-116. Possession, discharge.

It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge any firearm, air rifle, or slingshot, nor shall any person have any rifle or slingshot in his or her possession in any street or park, except [if] the same be securely wrapped or encased.

Just because they have the ordinance doesn't necessarily mean that you would have problems. Just about everyone who OC's is currently doing so in a city that has a similar ordinance. We are continually working with cities to try to get their ordinances up to date and in line with state law.

I plan to both send a letter and attend the next city council meeting.

I know I have seen the format letter in other threads. Would it be much trouble to post it here?
