Greetings From Detroit

LanPow:
Greeting all --

I have owned a firearm for 5-6 years now.  This far I have only been comfortable Open Carrying in or around the outside of my home so I have been carrying concealed until recently.  I am looking to learn the laws of open carrying so that I can venture out without fear for being wrongfully remanded and being able to defending my rights if I am!

Thanks for the resource!

Welcome from Charlotte.

In parts of Kent County and the SE corner of the state, knowing and obeying the law isn't an absolute defense against being handcuffed, but the situation is improving.

There's still some dispute over whether Woody's Glock was legally visible, but here's a recent incident from Detroit, where an experienced OCer was jailed because police claim his sweater, tucked behind his gun, folded over the top of the gun. I'm suspicious of the claims that police searched Woody and his friends for 'a strong odor of marijuana', but no drug charges resulted. 'I think I smell something, so I don't need a warrant to search' is obviously something that could be used to cover up illegal police conduct.
