Go to that link and fill in the blanks. There are links on that page to find out what districts you are in if you are not sure.

Technically, no you cannot. Just like every hunter that doesn't have a CPL or permission from the owner to be on the property that stops into a gas station that sells beer with a gun in the trunk may be in violation. However, to date there has not been a single case that we've been able to find of a person being convicted for breaking this law alone.

Technically, yes you can. The permit to purchase required by MCL 28.422 is a "License to purchase, carry, possess, or transport pistol;" Each of those actions are specific and different.
In fact the attorney general was asked to opine on this very subject of "transporting being possession" and he responded that a formal opinion was not necessary because "transporting" was lawful on the premises where "possession" is prohibited.
So with that in mind, transporting your unloaded and lawfully stored firearms is legal on the premises of places where possession is prohibited.
The leadership of MOC is aware of this informal opinion. I believe that the AG does not feel that a formal opinion is necessary because the law is unambiguous.

Thanks for the info, CV67PAT.
I went to the OC questions forum and went to the "New, Start Here" post and found that the same view that you expressed was more or less in the PFZ.pdf...
I guess now I need to stop procrastinating and read Michigan's gun laws for myself... but 280 pages of legal jargon intimidates me. Oh well, guess I might as well start now. :-\
