Default Michigan law ?

Having a cpl in the state of Mi. Can you have your weapon in the glove box of your car or does it have to be on your person ? And what would a patrol officer think if you told them that you have a gun in your glove box after telling them you have a permit to carry.

MCRGO (Michigan Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners) has addressed this in their e-mails a few times, and last year I went through a citizens academy with the local PD, and this was brought up in class. You can have the gun anywhere in your vehicle, not just on you. You simply do as you would when it is on your person, and inform the LEO immediately that you have it with you when he approaches vehicle.

Additionally, parking facilities of "pistol free zones" are exempt from their pistol free status. In plain English, you can leave your firearm secured in your vehicle if you go somewhere your pistol is prohibited by statute (bar, arena, stadium, hospital, casino, dormitory, classroom, etc...).

Do not confuse Detroit casinos with Tribal casinos. Tribal casinos are generally no weapons. Period.

You may be right, but this was taken directly from the MSP websight, and it makes no diferrentiation between public, and tribal casinos-





Pistol Free Areas
Individuals licensed to carry a concealed pistol by Michigan or another state are prohibited from carrying a concealed pistol on the following premises:

  • Schools or school property but may carry while in a vehicle on school property while dropping off or picking up if a parent or legal guardian

  • Public or private day care center, public or private child caring agency, or public or private child placing agency.
  • Sports arena or stadium
  • A tavern where the primary source of income is the sale of alcoholic liquor by the glass consumed on the premises
  • Any property or facility owned or operated by a church, synagogue, mosque, temple, or other place of worship, unless the presiding official allows concealed weapons
  • An entertainment facility that the individual knows or should know has a seating capacity of 2,500 or more
  • A hospital
  • A dormitory or classroom of a community college, college, or university
  • A Casino

"Premises" does not include the parking areas of the places listed above in 1 through 8.

FWIW, keep in mind that if you keep a pistol in your glove box, it would be wise to keep your documents elsewhere. I keep mine clipped to my visor. I don't keep a pistol in the glovebox, but like the visor method because I can get the papers without putting my hands anywhere that may make the officer nervous. The more relaxed and comfortable he feels, the safer we both are.

+1 That is good advice for anyone who would keep their gun in their glovebox.

The thing to remember is that MSP doesn't regulate Tribal land - the tribes do. Therefore, they can have different rules.
Frankly, I don't gamble and don't frequent either kind of casino. If I did, I would call the Tribal LE agency (NOT the casino) and ask what their rules are before I found out the hard way.

I don't either, but I think that's good advice.
