Macomb County Gunboard

[Jeff]

Yeah, I made the biggest mistake of my life moving to Macomb County.  They violate law, severely overstep their authority and make people wait up to 5 months, but I don't have the kind of money to get a lawyer to lay into them so I have to suck it up, play nice, shine my shoes, iron my pants, put on a smile then answer stupid questions that I already answered on my application so that 3 people can make a paycheck.

I certainly did not dress business casual when applying in 2010 and have no plans to dress up for them when renewing next year.

I hear their SOP doesn't require renewals to show.

that's correct

I am back, I got my CPL.

Such a waste of time sitting in a room listening to everyone answer the same questions in the exact same way just waiting for your name to be called to do the same thing.  Everything already on the application you filed MANY MONTHS before that they already verified.

A few people didn't get theirs though because of court cases that were never closed.  Nice of the gun board to have them wait 4-5 months to tell them instead of writing a letter. 

I feel I must end on a positive note though.  The view out the window over the city with a lake in the background looked very nice.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Thanks Mr Gryphon.  Now I can open carry in my car, and make everyone in my city uncomfortable since I will be the only one haha.

FIFY.  There is no provision in the law for open carry in a car.  Possession with CPL or transport without.

Technically "carried otherwise". See MCL 750.227 for exact language.

He knows that.  That's why he stated he needs a CPL.  I took it to mean he can now remain wearing his pistol openly without having to disarm before entering his car.

Yar.  I just said "open carry" because now I won't have to unload and case my pistol and throw it in the trunk.

Too bad we aren't one of those wonderful states that actually recognize open carry in a car and not considering it concealed.  Now I just need an active retention holster, I already have recommendations from several people here so I will look around a bit.

We are working on that. If things go well, we will get a bill introduced this session.
