According to the chart above posted by stainless, a CPL holder can open carry in the typical pistol free zones? This can't be right... Can it? Can someone link me to a Michigan law that backs this up?
A CPL holder can Open Carry in some of these zones. Look at the MSP update and there are two Attorney General opinions to back this up.
MCL 750.234d exempts a CPL from the places listed in .234d. They just have to OC.
