Yes we do reciprocate. Heres the Michigan State Police website that explains where you can't conceal your firearm. http://michigan.gov/msp/0,1607,7-123-1591_3503_4654---,00.html go down the list to find out where you can't conceal your firearm, "pistol free areas".

And if you are an OC'er then the link on our page here at OCDO that breaks down where you can oc is there under Mi open carry reference chart. You can Open Carry more places in MI than you can Conceal Carry. You can also check out Michigans open carry group at www.miopencarry.org for more information. Welcome to MI!!!!!!!

As long as your carrying on your Colorado license you're good. All resident permits are recognized in Michigan. Enjoy your stay here. Where will you be?

EDIT: A non-resident permit can do you some good if you don't have a resident permit but from the sound of it you do have a Colorado permit.

btw if you are stopped by a police officer you must inform you are carrying IF you're carrying a concealed pistol (your gun in concealed in your car even if it is visible). Do you plan to OC or CC?

Because of the Guns Free Zones Act, wouldn't he still be subject to staying 1,000ft from a school because he is from out of state?

Yes under Federal law, Michigan doesn't have this law. He also has to know he was in a school zone. The feds are not prosecuting these cases as a primary charge as they know it would not stand up under constitutional scrutiny. It's an add on charge that can be used to negotiate a plea.

Not saying it couldn't happen, just unlikely. All my opinion though, but well reasoned :D:D:D:D

Conceal carry.

Gottcha. Yeah then anytime you are "stopped" you must notify and they can disarm you. From what I can tell most MI cops are cool with it and you won't have a problem. If you go to the Detroit Casinos you cannot carry there. Other casinos are good though.

http://handgunlaw.us/

always a good resource...

Kinda a good source. They're not 100%. For instance: For the state of Georgia it said you must be 21 to carry. Well this is not true. While you must be 21 to get a Georgia permit, there is no statutory age to carry in Georgia. I brought it up on the Georgia part on this site. Right after many of us discussed how there is no statutory age handgunlaw.us did take that part down. They're good for the most part but not 100%

It wouldn't do any good. His state of residence must be the same as his CCW/CPL. MI ony allows resident permits.

Oh but it would.

1. A non resident permit (lets says he was from Illinois) would allow him to bring the handgun into Michigan and open carry it.
2. He would be exempt from 750.234d. because he would be licensed by another state to carry a concealed pistol.

While he would be required to unload while driving like anyone without a valid CPL he would still be able to open carry in places that have a liquor license, theaters, etc.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot to post my cites.

28.432 Inapplicability of MCL 28.422; amendatory act as “Janet Kukuk act”.
Sec. 12. (1) Section 2 does not apply to any of the following:

(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, Act No. 8 of the Public Acts of the
Extra Session of 1933, being sections 436.1 to 436.58 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. (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

Can you please provide a citation that a person carrying concealed on a resident, out-of-state "license to conceal" is prohibited from concealed carry in a pistol-free zone?

How would you carry in Georgia without a permit?

Sent from my Inspire 4G via Tapatalk flying mail monkeys

The state of Georgia? Um don't know where this came from but you kinda can't. Vehicle carry is legal but to carry openly or concealed requires a recognized permit.

I believe that to be a misleading statement. By "other" casinos he means native american owned casinos. They are regulated by tribal law, not state law. Although they do not have the power to prosecute a non-tribal member, in my opinion you'd be opening yourself up to a world of hassle. I know the NA casino in my town is posted as no weapons on casino property....of course there isn't a sign until you're inside the building :banghead:

As a neat little twist of law, a non-MI resident with an out of state non-resident concealed carry license is allowed by MI law to open carry in a school, but the Fed. law wouldn't allow them to get close enough to do so.

750.237a

(4) Except as provided in subsection (5), an individual who possesses a weapon in a weapon free school zone is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by 1 or more of the following:

(5) Subsection (4) does not apply to any of the following:

(a) An individual employed by or contracted by a school if the possession of that weapon is to provide security services for the school.

(b) A peace officer.

(c) An individual licensed by this state or another state to carry a concealed weapon.

I'm not a lawyer so none of this is legal advice, just my layman's interpretation.

But this is no different than any other private property which is posted.
