First, let me say welcome.
Secondly, I'd suggest you review the information posted
here and the
LEO Packet is a good read for everyone. Also be sure to read the comprehensive overview of
Michigan Gun Laws and Attorney General Opinions. It's quite the bed time story. It's not required reading, but it is highly helpful.
About LEOs, many LEOs are not -- up to par -- on current Michigan gun laws/AG Opinions. Some are up to par and have a personal or political problem with open carry that they feel the need to express. However, they may not be aware that by doing so, they are opening their communities to unlawful detention liabilities. If they are aware of the liability that they are opening their community to -- well, that's why we have Police Chiefs and Sheriffs....
I hope these references have you on your merry way. Happy reading.
