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.

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.

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".
