I think Bronson is taking these quotes a little out of context. All info I have ever read indicates Michigan has full reciprocity for CPL holders of all states that issue them. And where do you read in these statutes that I have just reviewed that a holder from another state shall not conceal in a vehicle?
I see no statute stating this. I am sure that you hope you are wrong also.
Sting, I think you are taking the intent of my post incorrectly.
Yes, Michigan does have full reciprocity, including vehicle carry, as long as an out of stater has a permit from their state of RESIDENCE. If, for example, their state does not offer a permit and they have a NON-resident permit from another state Michigan does
not recognize that NON-resident permit for purposes of vehicle or CONCEALED carry but Michigan
does recognize that NON-resident permit for OPEN CARRY with a concealed pistol license, which would allows OPEN CARRY in the open carry pistol free zones but not vehicle carry.
Now, that is all for a NON resident of Michigan which is NOT what I'm wondering about.
I'm wondering if a RESIDENT of Michigan were to get a NON-resident concealed license from another state, if the Michigan resident would then be able to OPEN CARRY in the open carry pistol free zones without having to get a MICHIGAN CPL. This could be a lower cost alternative to using a Michigan CPL to open carry in the open carry pistol free zones since there are states that offer non-resident permits for very low cost with no class or training requirement. Now because Michigan doesn't recognize NON-resident conealed licenses for vehicle or concealed carry a Michigan resident using a NON-resident concealed license wouldn't be able to conceal or vehicle carry but,
IF I'm correct, they would be able to OC in places licensed to sell alcohol which is a huge inconvenience if you don't have a CPL.
Springer mentioned the rules of statutory construction as being a road block to this idea and that may very well be, but I haven't been able to find these rules out on the net so if anybody could point me to them I'd appreciate it.
