Indiana LTCH

Is it legal for me to carry a hand gun in Michigan with my Indiana permit? Can I open carry?

Yes.

Michigan law honors concealed carry permits from all other states, provided you are a resident of the state that issued the permit. If you have a permit, then you're good to go

Open Carry

I was looking at a travelers guide and it implies that OC is not ok. Is OC ok with an a LTCH from Indiana?

In-ltch

YES! MI honors our IN- LTCH.

Actually MI laws are more 2nd Amendment friendly than IN.

To specifically answer your question, as a holder of the Indiana permit, you have every right and responsibility that a CPL holder in Michigan has when you are in Michigan.

Thank You. The Travelers Guide to Firearm Laws indicates OC is "unrestricted under state law; however, very uncommon except in rural areas". I was wondering how common OC was. I will be looking at the posts on the site too. As you can see I am new to the site.

I have found the travelers guide to be outdated and less than OC friendly.

Handgunlaws.us and this site should get you the info you need!
