Anyone know if it's posted? I read the park rules and googled but came up short of an answer I feel comfortable with


5. FIREARMS AND OTHER WEAPONS
No person shall possess or control any rifle, shotgun or other
firearm, bow and arrow, slingshot, pellet gun, air rifle, fireworks,
explosives, or other dangerous substances within the boundaries
of any park, without written permission of the Authority;
provided, that this rule shall not apply to any law enforcement
officer who has been duly appointed by the government of the
United States, the State of Michigan or any county, municipality
other political subdivision of the State of Michigan; and
provided, further that this section shall not prohibit a person
from legally carrying firearms in accordance with state law
,
including transporting an unloaded shotgun in a case within
the boundaries of Lake Erie or Metro Beach Metropark for the
purpose of using Lake Erie or Metro Beach Metropark as access
to a permitted hunting area. Nothing

Seems like it's OK if "legally" permitted.

Anyone live near there that knows?

If you are, call them and ask:

It doesn't matter what their policy is, Michigan has preemption, no local unit of government can have any law, rule, or regulation pertaining to firearms or ammunition stricter than the state and the state says you can carry there.  See MCL 123.1102 for the relevant law.  The courts have also affirmed it twice in MCRGO V. city of Ferndale and MOC V. CADL.  So if they give you problems about it you can tell them to go piss up a rope.

Despite knowing that they are preemped many local units of government still have these rules published, hoping on ignorance to gain compliance.  In other words they are knowingly and deliberately misleading people, they simply say that a perfectly legal act is in fact illegal or not allowed and fail to mention that they have absolutely zero legal authority to enforce it and that the rule itself is illegal.  They know that the average person has no idea about preemption or what the law actually says so that they will see the signs and just comply.

So yes, you can carry there.

In fact if you have a CPL, or whatever your state calls it but choose to open carry you can carry anywhere you want whenever you want save for post offices and federal property, and also the "big 3" campuses do to a quirk in state law.

With a CPL and concealed carry you can still carry there, but avoid schools, hospitals, "entertainment facilities" seating more than 2,500, casinos, churches, and bars, etc.  you can find the full list of PFZs online, but Metro Beach is fine.

I lived a 20 minute swim from "Metro" 38 years ago, before a lot of the current laws and pre emptions existed

I found out about the name change last week during a conversation with a buddy down there

Do you have to be so obtuse?

Until a name change a few years ago, Lake Saint Clair Metro Park was previously known as Metro Beach. It is still commonly known as Metro Beach, or just Metro, by the locals as a name change isn't going to catch on quickly when we've been calling it Metro for decades.

And yes, it is technically in Harrison Township, but Clinton Township is just next door to the West. Some people don't realize that Clinton Township doesn't extend all the way to Lake Saint Clair.

As to the OP, carrying in the Metro Parks is perfectly legal.
