It is my understanding if you have a CPL from another State that Michigan will give you a Temporary one as long as you submit the required paperwork within 30 days of establishng Residency to Get a Mi. Cpl.
We also have an Open carry Law here now that says you can Openly carry any Handgun/gun as long as it is in the Open/Not Concealed and not Carried in a Pistol free Zone unless you have a CPL and the Owners of Private property such as Gandermountain or Mcdonalds restaurant are Okay with it, If they are NOT Okay with it, All they can do is ask you to remove it or Leave... Be careful as open carry still must be unloaded, Locked and Inaccessabile in any Motorized Licensed Vehicle, This is a Felony if caught....
Check on the Website MGO Michigun Gun Owners there is a forum specifically on Open Carry and the Laws.
P.S. Welcome back to Michigan, I would rather be in Alaska also, But if you need anything let me know. I am from central lower are, St. Charles, Saginaw, Freeland area. Paul
