I see a lot of people asking questions about Michigan's fun laws, so I thought that it would be nice to have a thread with all the relevant laws of interest to Michigan's Gun Owners, particularly those who carry.  I think I got them all, but if you can think of anything else let me know.

Very nice!   This should get added into the tacked threads at the top

This should be tacked. Well done

Good compilation, thanks! I agree it should be tacked.

Yes, please tack (pin) this post.  Ignorance is an epidemic, and this is a healthy dose of treatment.  Well needed by many people.

Am I reading that correctly?  If you have a CPL and are OCing, you can hang in previously named "no carry" zones?



ARnutt

The FN SCAR 16S/17S, FN FS2000, and FN PS90 are considered pistols.

I see this has been tacked now, I'm glad I could put up some useful information.

Correct, as long as you have a CPL, and you are open carrying then there's no pistol free zones.  However places like Post Officers, Federal Reserve Banks, Federal Buildings, other Federal Facilities, and the secure area of airports would still be off limits do to Federal law, however as far as Michigan is concerned you can carry anywhere.

Still can't carry in school buildings(unclear about school property) iirc

Yes you can, see AG opinion 7113, it specifically addresses schools.

oopps new to this list I think I posted this incorrectly the first time



any way nice list of legal cites

If I may make a suggestion



I would add a link to Bardwell NFA FAQ ––I am sure there are many





Here is one

We also need these two together as they provide an avenue to not register hand guns in Michigan if you choose not to.

All that is needed is a Michigan CPL and a concealed pistol license from any other state.

Just updating this thread...

AG Opinion #7304 confirmed the above...
