Many folks here in Michigan are beginning to open carry. It’s legal here. No one has taken a loaded firearm, long or short, away from the carrier that I have heard about.
The majority of police here will not do anything about it, and politely ask
you become more aware of the guns position.
Conceal is just my personal preference and seeing anybody openly carrying has
my personal gratitude for exercising their God Given Constitutional right.
A right not available in a state where people think Guns are safe from the law.
