Title: Open carry on a Smartbus legal?
Post by: Kusarigama on May 04, 2010, 09:40:24 PM
What does the law say? It isn't listed as off limits. Do motor vehicle laws apply? Its very spacious inside. Like a big moving room.

Smart is private company yes?  If they are, then I think they have the ability to make the rules, and you're bound by them.  However, if Smart is public transportation, I would think it would be covered by preemption.  Also, though, CPL laws are MI laws and therefore on the same ground as preemption, so they still apply, any carry on/in a vehicle is considered CC and a CPL is necessary, private or public.

 Fatboy is right on this one, youll have to find out the public/private thing.

Agreed further, the law says you must have a cpl, and if they are private they can still say no go if they choose to take that position. Let us know what you find as to them being private/public (taxpayer subsidized).
