The gun must be unloaded and in your trunk in a case that is designed to hold a gun.http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/publications/firearms.pdf

Would this be allowed as "a case that is designed to hold a gun"?
OC without CPL is a very VERY complicated and risky thing to be doing. I hope you know what you could be getting yourself into. You better research and know the laws TO A "T" if you are going to do it. I researched for like 4 months to understand it all and feel comfortable should I have an exchange with the police.To each their own, but know that if you screw up, you could be looking at a FELONY. Do not take your responsibility lightly. If you mess up it coudl limit your ability to carry in the future.

I"M just making sure that someone who maybe isn't as wise and responsible as they will be when they're 25 or 30 doesn't get themselves into any hot water by making a small mistake that can cost them for a long time.I think it's great if the kid wants to OC... he just better know wtf he's doing and the consequences if he screws up.OC AWAY KID!!! Just check into it first.Also, come to the picnic on Sunday.It is important to know the law. However don't let that little piece of blue paper or plastic if you have the newer CPL make you over confident. You are still not immune to a bad cop. In reality you can be falsely charged for anything! CPL or not. Example: Brandishing - how would you prove you did not unholster your weapon? Your word against a cops, guess who wins? This is precisely why instead of discouraging Non CPL OC, we should be encouraging it. Why? Because if you can imagine pulling up to a parking lot & seeing 3 people un-casing their pistols / loading /holstering and walking in some place be it an Arby's / McDonalds / Starbucks etc... on a daily basis in towns all across MI. The point is the more the merrier! Also it may help promote positive changes in carry laws, such as legal non CPL OC transport to reduce the amount of loading/unloading a non CPL holder does [less handling = less chance for accidents]. Michigan law baffles me often as it is legal for me to carry an pistol etc.. down the street but if I want a non lethal option in addition such as a taser LOOK OUT you could kill someone with that thing Figure that one out?The more OC becomes "an everyday sight" for police and the general public, the less likely OCers are to be harassed.
