Can someone explain this? PM me or here? Or point me somewhere else to read up.
How does this permit provide exemption and is it only certain state CPLs? I current have my Mi CPL.
I'll break it down the best I can:
MCL 750.227 is the law that concerns carrying a CONCEALED weapon as well as possession in a vehicle.
750.231a
Exceptions to MCL 750.227(2); definitions.
Sec. 231a.
(1) Subsection (2) of section 227 does not apply to any of the following:
(a) To a person holding a valid license to carry a pistol concealed upon his or her person
issued by his or her state of residence except where the pistol is carried in nonconformance with a restriction appearing on the license.
MCL
750.234d
(1) Except as provided in subsection (2), a person shall not possess a firearm on the premises of any of the following:
(a) A depository financial institution or a subsidiary or affiliate of a depository financial institution.
(b) A church or other house of religious worship.
(c) A court.
(d) A theatre.
(e) A sports arena.
(f) A day care center.
(g) A hospital.
(h) An establishment licensed under the Michigan liquor control act, Act No. 8 of the Public Acts of the Extra Session of 1933, being sections 436.1 to 436.58 of the Michigan Compiled Laws.
2(c) A person licensed by this state
or another state to carry a concealed weapon
So to break it down, 750.231a requires a license to carry a concealed weapon issued by this state or anothers
state of residence, state of residence being the key issue here for carrying a CONCEALED weapon.
750.234d only specifies someone needing to be licensed by this state
or another state to carry a concealed weapon. Now that simply says that if another state gives you a license to carry a concealed weapon you are exempt, even if its a non resident.
So, because 750.234d is regarding the POSSESSION of a firearm and not carrying a concealed firearm, if you have a license to carry a concealed weapon issued from another state you may POSSESS a firearm on the premises listed in 750.234d, possession including the open carry of a pistol.
Therefore if you are issued a license to carry a concealed weapon from another state you may possess that firearm on the premises of the locations listed in 750.234d without violating the law as long as you open carry.
