Finally, a response from the City of Charlotte. Looks like an education meeting is needed.
I sent him a response about the citizens not knowing of the law reading that and not excersising their rights. Awaiting further response.
I hate to say it but TECHNICALLY, he is correct as far as the "enforcing the law" goes. However, as they "enacted" this law after 1990, the year MCL 123.1102 was passed, they are still in violation... there is no "punishment" listed in MCL 123.1102 though.

Mr. Clark--
The City of Charlotte is well aware of Michigan's Open Carry law. The law does not prohibit keeping on the books an ordinance that regulates in this area. It merely prohibits enforcement of the ordinance in a manner that conflicts with state law. We will take under advisement the need to amend this ordinance.
