Proud to be a Michigander.
We had open carry in California right up until the point when a few people started taking advantage of it.
Then they took away it away from us - very instructive.
I’m praying that we’ll be Shall Issue, one day.
I’m sure it won’t be soon but I’m still praying.
However, because the prohibition only applies to concealed carry, Michigan courts have ruled that CPL holders may open carry in any of the listed areas.
This Michigan State Police article regarding open carry in Michigan sums it up nicely:

Excerpt:
Note, the above statute applies to CPL holders
carrying a concealed pistol. If the CPL holder is
carrying a non-concealed pistol, the statute does
not apply. As noted above, the unlawful
premises listed in MCL 750.234d do not apply to
persons with a valid CPL. Therefore, a person
with a valid CPL may carry a non-concealed
pistol in the areas described in MCL 28.425o
and MCL 750.234d.
Follows the Law? Did I miss the ‘all existing *law* is hereby null and void as it violates the plain language of the 2nd A.’??

Second Amendment supporters have had the Constitution on their side since the beginning. Then supporters built the organizations and communications networks to elect responsive politicians, pass laws and strengthen state Constitutions. Now supporters are in the process of enforcing the laws that have been passed.

Shame they’re not supporting and enforcing, as per the top.
Guess like taxes: Just a *LITTLE* slavery\violation of Rights is fine. Govt will find just how they can push that line; aided by their lackeys in black robes (follow the $$).
