I would have read him this section out loud:
Sec. 234d. (1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2), a person shall not possess a firearm on the premises
of any of the following:
a) A depository financial institution or a subsidiary or affiliate of a depository financial institution.
b) A church or other house of religious worship.
c) A court.
d) A theatre.
e) A sports arena.
f) A day care center.
g) A hospital.
h) An establishment licensed under the Michigan liquor control act,…
(2) This section does not apply to any of the following:
a) A person who owns, or is employed by or contracted by, an entity described in subsection (1) if the possession
of that firearm is to provide security services for that entity.
b) A peace officer.
c) A person licensed by this state or another state to carry a concealed weapon.
Then asked, "Am I currently licensed to carry a concealed pistol in this state?"
Obviously (hopefully) they would have said yes.
Then I would have asked, "So, you agree, that according to the general firearms laws, the CPL law excepted, that as long as I have a CPL I am exempt from the places where firearms are prohibited?"
Hopefully, they would have said "Yes"
Then read them 28.425o out loud
"Sec. 5o. (1) Subject to subsection (4), an individual licensed under this act to carry a concealed pistol, or who is exempt from licensure under section 12a(1)(f), shall not carry a concealed pistol on the premises of any of the following:"
Then asked, "sir, we agreed that I was licensed to carry a concealed pistol correct?" Hopefully he would have answered "Yes". Next question, "the law clearly states, that someone licensed under the act shall not carry a CONCEALED pistol on the premises..., Sir, was my pistol concealed?" He would have had to answer "no".
"So, as we agreed to, the general firearms laws prohibit someone from carrying any firearm into those places so listed, unless exempt by having a CPL, and, we agreed that the CPL law clearly states that nobody can carry a CONCEALED pistol into those places listed in the CPL law, and since we agreed, that my pistol was NOT concealed, tell me again why I'm here"
My rendition of monday morning quarterbacking, over all, I think you did a great job of standing up for what you believe is (and actually is) right.
