I guess the following was missed from their Legal Opinion..

MCL 28.422 said:
License to purchase, carry, possess, or transport pistol; issuance; qualifications; applications; sale of pistol; exemptions; nonresidents; basic pistol safety brochure; forging application; implementation during business hours.

Sec. 2.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person shall not purchase, carry, possess, or transport a pistol in this state without first having obtained a license for the pistol as prescribed in this section.

Once you have gone to the Police Department for a License To Purchase/Pistol Purchase Permit (RI-010) or you have a Concealed Pistol License (CPL), you may carry your pistol openly.

ETA - John, please feel free to update your article with this information.

Nicely done! However, it will never pass muster. You based your offering on fact, law, and reason instead of fear, prejudice, and closed-mindedness. Again, well done!
