Hi All,
I'm assuming you all can answer this for me since this seems to be the go to place or all things carry. Depending on whether or not I'm in my work gear has a lot to do with OC vs CC. Looking through the different forums, I notice comments regarding being careful about going into Meijer (or other stores that sell alcohol) without having and CPL and OC'ing. My question is this, it doesn't appear that these type of locations, even a QD, would qualify as a location that per MCL 28.425o "A tavern where the primary source of income is the sale of alcoholic liquor by the glass consumed on the premises". Even if you don't consider the rest of the statement, none of these places would consider alcohol as their primary income source. Am I or am I not allowed to CC there? Am I missing something? Thanks!

***Liquor license, NO CPL - NO CARRY anywhere on property. *Except if you have permission from the owner/management, preferably in writing.
***Liquor license, CPL, not sold for consumption on premises - OC or CC.
***Liquor license, CPL, alcohol sold for consumption and primary source of income, OC only.
***Liquor license, CPL, alcohol sold for consumption and NOT primary source of income, CC or OC.
Ref: MCL
750.234d
28.425o
Primary means largest single source.
There is no % in the MCL only primary source is written.

Do you or don't you have a CPL?

I'm assuming, since you quoted the CPL statute and the later statement, you possess a valid CPL.
TeMpTiN is correct, but I'll elaborate based solely on the Meijer and QD in your question.
For concealed carry only, MCL 28.425o is applicable. Meijer and QD do not sell alcohol by the glass for consumption on the premises. You are within your legal rights to carry concealed.
For open carry only, MCL 750.234d is applicable. However, MCL 750.234d(2)(c) makes MCL 750.234d(1)(h) not applicable to you. You are within your legal rights to carry openly.

I do have my CPL. Thanks for the great responses!

Considering that Beer and or whiskey are mostly water does that mean we can carry in our local bar?
I always interpreted that to mean beverages that contained alcohol and all other sales.
Just the two categories rather then buggers, fries, malts, cokes, sweaters, hats, spare ribs, baked potatoes, etc.
-
Coats and hats would be "merch".
Shakes, malts, burgers, fries, would be "food".
Some places may even offer "services".
Bar is always separate.
To answer your last question YES legally you can carry at your local bar, provided just like any other private property the ownership/management does not say no.
***Liquor license, CPL, alcohol sold for consumption and primary source of income, OC only.
Probably better OC if it is a Bar. Many people here go to bars for food and company not just booze, and many myself included carry in them.
If you do and you run into management that wants you to leave, be polite and do so. I would not feel obligated to pay my bill, but I would tip my waitress/waiter. If you feel comfortable and want to continue going to the venue we can help you to educate management / owners and some change their minds.

"You're management here?"
"You're refusing service and you wish me to leave?"
"Since you're refusing to serve me, there's no bill, right?"

It is unlawful to posses a firearm on the premises of an establishment licensed under the Michigan Liquor Control Act, unless you have a CPL, permission (I recommend you get this in writing), or are otherwise exempt.

You sort of have it bass ackwards.
Actually there are a lot of places that a person without a CPL can OC.
There are a few places that are prohibited.
-
I was going to say that that is a real negative way of looking at this.

Read the FAQ. OC without a CPL requires additional knowledge and attention, but as Pat said, there are lots of places one can carry.
