Is anyone well versed in the Michigan carry laws?
In Michigan you can conceal carry a loaded pistol in a vehicle with a CPL.
My question is, can you open carry a loaded pistol in your vehicle with a CPL?
Or, is your vehicle automatically considered "concealed"?
I guess I just want to know if I can have a loaded pistol, in a holster, bolted to the dash,out in the open if I wanted to? ]]> CCW Talk Tcronbo http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/ccw-talk/236093-michigan-conceal-carry-questions.html http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/ccw-talk/235984-brand-new-ccw-license-holder.html Wed, 15 May 2013 15:45:04 GMT It seemed to take forever... but, today, I feel a little taller, prepared and informed. I've opt'd for the florida non-resident CCW permit for my carry license here in Ohio. Covers more states, & is good for 7 yrs instead of Ohio's 5. Besides, if I have to go to Michigan, everyone there is already armed and dangerous!... thanx for listening.

My wife and I attended a basic NRA sponsored hand gun training program and received the certificate of completion. I was told by the instructor that with these certificates in our hands, we would easily qualify for an Arizona non-resident CCW permit. We went through the application process to include fingerprints and submitted the applications as soon as we could.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety advertised at turnaround time of no less than 60 days. That time was exceeded and we started to get nervous. I think it was about day 77 when we finally received our permits good for 5 years! Better late than never. The delay may have been caused by the sudden rush of CCW permits given the political environment.

California can kiss my a$$. Thanks again Gov. Jan Brewer and your beautiful state for your trust and issuing true American patriots our Arizona CCW permits! ]]> CCW Talk warriorboomz33 http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/ccw-talk/235938-arizona-ccw.html http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/ccw-talk/235846-another-positive-ccw-story.html Mon, 13 May 2013 16:52:27 GMT Mother's Day, yea never know when it can happen.

At first I didnt think much but he droped a box or two and kept running, thats when I knew he was stealing. he was about 200lbs 5'10 male.

Then comes out what looked like a manager, younger lady, chasing him. Only because of that, I followed behind them in my car, in case the guy would attack her or something.

It ended up the guy got away with 2 or 3 boxes, spilled the others on the street, and the lady was fine, walked back with what she could find on the street.

so here's the question... I'm thinking to myself...Had I been carrying, I could have pulled in front of the theif and ordered him down. but at the same time, its not really my problem...and I dont want to play cop, and there's the posibility he would engage me, whether by hand or knife or gun, who knows.

Would you guys have intervened and stopped a theif who seems harmless and is just stealing from a store...just running away scared shitless dropping half of his contents? or just let them go and let the store chalk up the losses?
