Open Carry in Michigan

Although some law enforcers are antsy about it, open carry of weapons is quite legal in the state of Michigan for registered gun owners and an increasing number of people are doing it.

Along with open carry, there have also been dramatic increases in gun sales, ammunition sales and concealed handgun permits.

Statewide in Michigan, the number of concealed gun permits rose from 83,000 in 2008 to 150,000 in 2009. Also, the State of Michigan will recognize valid non-resident concealed pistol permits issued in other states.
