Just registered to get my Concealed Handgun License

We have carry permits here.
You don't have to conceal. Which is a nice thing if the wind happens to blow your windbreaker or coat away. In some conceal states, that would cause you a "problem."

And while I live in the "Nawth," the idea of a BBQ gun amuses me. Not that I have one of those.

Michigan allows both open and concealed carry. The interesting part is the combination of having the CPL and choosing to open carry removes some of the restrictions on where you can carry.

Recently it has been opined by the AG opinion, the MSP (Michigan State Police) and Senator Prusi that persons with a CPL can carry a firearm
openly in the exempted areas listed in MCL 750.234d.
