Does anyone know where southgate stands with the open carry law??

They are in violation per their posted codes online! Type pistol or gun to see bad ordinances. According to this even if you have a CPL you cannot carry. WOW! I guess no one told them state law trumps local law?

I could find no ref. to OPEN CARRY so they may be ok with it. I am in Southgate on an almost daily basis; if you want to OC we can set up a time and place. It is always easier to OC the 1st time with someone else.. 1 person with a pistol a nut..2 or more a curiosity.

Just so you know last month I sent an LEO packet to southgate.My dad lives there and I am in every Friday and we go to dinner. Now if I am not mistaken last month or so chuckwagon had an encounter at buffalo wild wings mwag call. He was detained knife taken and a citation for a concealed knife was written it was latter thrown out in court but it was still a hassle. It is posted on here some where I just half to find it.
