OK just so we can have this discussed correctly...
so until we can get a law passed that doesnt allow a cop to verify a cpl when using a motorized vehicle they can do a stop and check. granted in a car it isnt as obvious as standing in a boat. its pretty much out there for all to see which i would assume the reason for them coming. now if i was shore fishing they would have been politely told to kick rocks
The law for pistols just says vehicle, not motorized vehicle.
It's more than that. Under authority of your CPL...
The law also says ”and who is carrying a concealed pistol”...
28.425f (2) An individual who is licensed under this act to carry a concealed pistol
and who is carrying a concealed pistol or a portable device that uses electro-muscular disruption technology shall show both of the following to a peace officer upon request by that peace officer:
(a) His or her license to carry a concealed pistol.
(b) His or her driver license or Michigan personal identification card.
... means in or on a vehicle or motor boat, and/or while concealing. It also means in a PFZ.
The law for pistols just says
in a vehicle.
750.227 (2) A person shall not carry a pistol concealed on or about his or her person, or, whether concealed or otherwise, in a vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, place of business, or on other land possessed by the person, without a license to carry the pistol as provided by law and if licensed, shall not carry the pistol in a place or manner inconsistent with any restrictions upon such license.
if its somewhere you MUST HAVE A CPL to oc i dont think its a problem, they should be able to confirm you are licensed and are not breaking the law. or else criminals will oc because they cant be stopped or asked about their firearms. its a loophole they will exploit to the best of their ability... some may not feel the same.
If this were true then criminals would have started OCing years ago, everywhere.
I do agree with the drivers license comparison. LEO's can't just stop people to see if their licensed.
Now I am not a lawyer so I will suggest showing all ID's in any vehicle until others agree with me.
Carry on.
