I was talking to a person at the gun range who stated you can open carry in Michigan but the gun can't be loaded. Is this true?
That's in California (unloaded open carry) not in Michigan.
What range?
Sounds like another bad firearms instructor. When I went through the CPL course the instructor who was a retired police officer stated that if you open carried in a holster it was considered brandishing. He went on to say that your gun must be concealed at all times and that the only possible time you could get away with open carry was if you bent over and your shirt came above your firearm. Anything else was considered brandishing and a criminal offense.
Guys...Honestly, if this is true, the instructor needs to be educated if possible. If they are unwilling to learn IMHO they need to be reported to the NRA or MCOLES, which ever one they received their instructors certification through.

He said "a person" not an employee or instructor at the range.

I went through the class in 2005, so at the time I thought this was correct info. It was only later after reading the various laws several times and doing research on the web that I found out open carry was legal.
there is always someone who doesn't OC who apparently knows everything about OC, I always listen to the guys at gas stations and wal-mart that say "HEY! you a cop? if not you can't do that!" never have heard the unloaded firearm one in Michigan yet, but I have heard "hey you can't carry around a fake gun like that!" it's good for the lawls.

.....If it isn't loaded, and can't be used for its intended purpose, it serves no purpose to me.
California has uoc. North dakota too if you dont have a permit.
And in ND, you can only OC during the day...
