Michigan generally permits open carry of legally owned firearms in public, with state law preempting local restrictions per MCL 123.1102.
Open carry of a legally registered pistol is generally lawful in Michigan for adults who may legally possess the firearm, though pistol-free zones under MCL 28.425o still apply. Long guns may be openly carried in most public places subject to disorderly conduct and brandishing statutes (MCL 750.234e). Local governments are preempted from banning open carry in parks, on sidewalks, or in public buildings. Schools remain a state-defined pistol-free zone, though CPL holders have limited exceptions.
Brandishing a firearm in public is a misdemeanor under MCL 750.234e; violating pistol-free zones may bring criminal charges and license sanctions.
