Man who openly and concealed carried won the initial gunfight, but was then gunned down as he was on the phone with police. He was probably shot by an unknown associate of Qonte L. “Purp” Works, the man who grabbed the open carry gun.

A combination of open and concealed carry can work well. I have done it often.

I do not recommend it without a holster, at a crowded, drunken party in the early morning hours.

"Qonte L. “Purp” Works grabbed the other man’s gun and began chasing him with it,"

I think this was a scene from Better Call Saul. "If I need a gun, I'll use one of his."

Hard to be sure what did...and didn’t...happen here. But if it’s established that the dead guy was,in fact,acting in self defense then one must feel sorry for him.

Doesn’t sound like there were any physics majors in the crowd.....but even the average dumb-dumb knows what goes up must come down.

"The party of 50 or more people began at the Liquor Basket... When the business closed at midnight, the revelers relocated to a park behind the Speedway gas station."

That's Buena Vista Township's version of a party.

If a party starts at a place called the liquor basket, it can’t end well.

Officers found numerous .22- and .40-caliber shell casings at the scene.

Who was bustin' caps with a .22?

Drinking and carrying are expressly forbidden in Michigan’s CPL law. I think on paper the limit is .02, which is less than 1 drink.

I don’t , well I do, get it. I was no saint when I was in College. After exams and stuff, we ripped it up. Kegs, etc. But. We stayed in the confines of our apartment and if we wanted to go out we had a room mate he didn’t drink. He was our DD. Never did stupid stuff like this.

...an extended 30-round magazine...

I always thought extended meant, like, 120.
