In reading michigan state law on open carry, there is a portion that says there may be local ordinances that ban open carry. I was wondering if anyone has a list or knows what cities have this ban?

Local ordinances pertaining to carrying firearms are preempted by MCL123.1102.I was wondering if anyone has a list or knows what cities have this ban?
The MSP law says an ordinance can ban carrying a weapon if specificaly authorized by state law.
Hows that work?

Thanks for the update. The MSP makes it a bit confusing to understand their literature.
I want to exercise my right to oc, but with all the arrest of people doing so kinda pushes me away. I cant afford a ton of money for a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo because some officer wants to give me a hard time.
what arrests?
All the people who get bullied by the local cops. Im sure police are getting better training now on how to handle calls for a person whos ocing, but a few years back cops were making lots of false arrest and getting them selfs ans the city they work for sued.
If you do OC the only problem you might encounter is someone asking "are you a cop" or "is that real" I've been OCing now for a solid 5 months and havent had a single issue with LEO. I had a MWAG call on me once, but dispatch took care of it and didnt even send a car to investigate. I only know this because dispatch called panera to report they had a MWAG call and wanted to see if everything was kosher, my friend was the manager and he told me about the call.
Yance OCs mostly in the Battle Creek area and some of the Kalamazoo area (I think let him answer that for you to be sure). I mostly OC in the Kzoo area and haven't really had any issues outside of being at the Portage Police Station but that's another story.
