Just looking at the map I know the article will contain miss truths.  In Michigan you need a permit to open carry.  It's called the purchase permit.

Only if you purchase from other than an ffl
Anything I post may be my opinion and not the law... you are responsible to do your own verification.

Blackstone (1753-1765) maintains that "the law holds that it is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."

That alone is a dead giveaway it will have half-truths

States that Otherwise Restrict the Open Carrying of Handguns
Alabama
Alaska
Arkansas
Michigan
Missouri
North Dakota
Pennsylvania
Virginia
Washington

So the source data says Michigan restricts but doesn't license.
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. Luke 11:21

Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."  Luke 22:36

Purchase from FFL still requires a Pistol Sales Record. (RI-060)
The problem with maps like that is that unlicensed people might think they can bring their handguns to MI and the authorities will be OK with that. They never color code those maps for "this state discriminates against non-residents".
