It came to my attention that MSP update #86 has this verbage: "There is no way to “open carry” a pistol in a vehicle. An individual, without a CPL or otherwise exempted (e.g., a police officer), who transports a pistol in a vehicle to an area where he or she intends to “open carry” may be in violation of MCL 750.227."
Is the list of "lawful reasons" that "INCLUDES" all inclusive, or just a partial list? It says transport for lawful purposes "including".... obviously there are no exclusions, but I am rethinking the logic or standpoint that "even if it's not on the list it should be fine as long as it's a legal reason..."
Now MCL 750.231a subsection 2(b)(vii) states: While en route to or from his or her abode to a private property location where the pistol is to be used as is permitted by law, rule, regulation, or local ordinance.
But that's talking about PRIVATE property... not going to OC...
I suppose it's all in what you say to the cops, but seriously sounds like you could get jammed up easy if they wanted to....
Of course, they have to know you have a weapon being transported...etc... Which would probably mean you already screwed something up or a few things up for them to discover your weapon... long way for them to get to the point of charges... but sounds like they could.
What do you people think?
