I'm no expert on Michigan law, but I think EC is missing a key qualifier in the section he quoted:
"Non-residents of Michigan cannot use a license to carry from a state other than their home state,"
By my reading, that means the OP, as a resident of Indiana, couldn't carry on a Texas license, nor Ohio, nor Utah, nor Pennsylvania. But he could carry with a license from his home state, which he has.
you got it right!
OK, according to what you are saying, in order to carry either openly or concealed, a non-resident has to have a license from their home state and carry as the out-of-state license allows. But, as I am not a lawyer and don't wish to give legal "advice",what about
MCL 28.432 "Inapplicability of MCL 28.422; citation as “Janet Kukuk act” which states that: Sec. 12. (1) Section 2 (The Requirement to Register a Pistol) does not apply to any of the following:
(a) A police or correctional agency of the United States or of this state or any subdivision of this state.
(b) The United States army, air force, navy, or marine corps.
(c) An organization authorized by law to purchase or receive weapons from the United States or from this state.
(d) The national guard, armed forces reserves, or other duly authorized military organization.
(e) A member of an entity or organization described in subdivisions (a) through (d) for a pistol while engaged in the course of his or her duties with that entity or while going to or returning from those duties.
(f) A United States citizen holding a license to carry a pistol concealed upon his or her person issued by another state.
(g) The regular and ordinary transportation of a pistol as merchandise by an authorized agent of a person licensed to manufacture firearms or a licensed dealer.
(h) Purchasing, owning, carrying, possessing, using, or transporting an antique firearm. As used in this subdivision, “antique
firearm” means that term as defined in section 231a of the Michigan penal code, 1931 PA 328, MCL 750.231a.
(i) An individual carrying, possessing, using, or transporting a pistol belonging to another individual, if the other individual’s possession of the pistol is authorized by law and the individual carrying, possessing, using, or transporting the pistol has obtained a license under section 5b to carry a concealed pistol or is exempt from licensure as provided in section 12a.
I don't see anything about residency here. So it appears that a Wisconsin resident, although unable to carry
concealed because Wisconsin does not issue a concealed permit, could
arguably OC a pistol if the resident of Wisconsin had a concealed carry permit/license from, say, Pennsylvania. What do you think.
edit
I am aware of the previously mentioned exemption, but I would argue that we have another exemption available to nonresidents...
