There Are No Laws

The public information officer for MSP’s First District schooled a CNN reporter, Ryan Young, on openly carrying firearms in the State of Michigan. There are currently NO LAWS prohibiting this practice in the State of Michigan. This was apparently in relation to protests in April that took place inside and outside the capitol grounds in Lansing.

Those protests were in response to Michigan’s Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, imposing restrictions of movement et al during the coronavirus pandemic. Restrictions many call fascist, ignoring the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. Open carry advocates often join other protests in the State of Michigan sporting assault type weapons slung over their shoulders, protesting in case legislators decide to enact laws banning the practice. Openly carrying firearms is completely legal in Michigan because no laws are in the books prohibiting it. The practice, like CPL holders, does come with restrictions.

On May 3rd, 2020 Michigan State Police in the First District posted this on their Twitter social media account.

@Ryanyoungnews: Hello, I am a Public Information Officer with the Michigan State Police. I would like to provide you information on open carry of firearms in the state of Michigan. In Michigan, it is legal for a person to carry a firearm in public as long as the person is carrying the firearm with lawful intent and the firearm is not concealed.

A person who holds a valid concealed pistol license may carry a concealed pistol, except at prohibited premises. Although Michigan law limits the premises on which a person may carry a firearm, the Capitol building is not a prohibited premise. Any questions let me know and thank you.

Citations Issued By MSP

via Michigan State Police:

One of the biggest complaints we have gotten from citizens, other than violations of physical distancing, has been drivers traveling at excessive speeds. The Metro North Post concentrated on those excessive drivers over the weekend.

The following citations were issued:

Speed: Along I 75 in northern Oakland County: 110mph/70mph, 83 in a construction zone, 100/70, 104/70, 95/70 and 102/70.

Along M59 drivers were cited for 104/70 and 101/70. Along the I-696 and I96 corridor speeds of 111/70 and 103/70.

It should also be noted that the dedicated traffic patrol recorded speeds of 107, 120, 106, 100, 116, 100, 100, 102, 110, 100, 100, 102, 110, 100, 111, 101, 100, 100, 100, 102, 109, 102, 117, and 100 across Oakland and Macomb Counties for the month of April.

We realize with the Stay at Home order that there is less traffic out on the roads. However, the same speed limits still apply. A crash at these speeds is usually deadly. We want you to be safe as we deal with this virus. We also want you to be safe on Michigan’s roadways
