So a walking or riding hunter can't OC? I don't understand this part at all.Handgun transportation restrictions have recently been relaxed (5 years ago?) making open carry possible for those who don’t walk or ride a horse.

He meant that even if you transport your gun in a vehicle you can now do so. You no longer have to walk or ride a horse to where you want to OC.Originally Posted by who dat

Don't get me wrong, I am not against open carry for those that want to do it. I just think that a lot of the people that OC have the "us against the police" attitude and are trying to prove a point. I know that if OC'd that would be my only reason.
In Colorado, open carry is legal as long as you are legal to own the gun. However, the state law also allows municipalities to make local rules. So it is better to check your local LE before walking down the street with open side arms.
Luckily in Michigan we have a preemption clause, local units of government can not make restrictions on firearms, ammunition, etc that are more restrictive than the state government.Originally Posted by ToughJerky
For CC I understand CO has preemption.Originally Posted by ToughJerky
18-12-214. Authority granted by permit - carrying restrictions.
(1) (a) A permit to carry a concealed handgun authorizes the permittee to carry a concealed handgun in all areas of the state, except as specifically limited in this section. A permit does not authorize the permittee to
use a handgun in a manner that would violate a provision of state law. A local government does not have authority to adopt or enforce an ordinance or resolution that would conflict with any provision of this part 2.
Denver was allowed a specific exemption to disallow Saturday Night Specials...but CC is pretty safe all over the state. Preemption also applies to anyone transporting a gun anywhere in the state by vehicle.
