Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Actually Texas now calls this LTC (License to Carry) we can carry openly but not sure why anyone would want to do so--this is my 2¢, I'm sure others have valid reasons--like wanting to be the first one shot during a robbery, having store employees asking you to leave, having your friends NOT invite you over (this actually may be a very good reason to do so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Pretty cool - Michigan has about 652k CPL holders currently. With only 10 million folks that's a good per capita. GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Well, it's better than not carrying at all, which is the choice where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason to openly carry. Me either. I live in a small town, work in two others and it's very rare. I saw one of my customers once open carrying a Glock and asked him about it. "No my shirt just blew open and I didn't notice." Mine stays concealed. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Better to have it concealed and have some lowlife start something where you have to pull it (because he doesn't know you're carrying), than to wear it openly and DETER some lowlife who who will probably leave you alone.

Shotgun Willie Nelson Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 When I first got mine about ten years back, the Instructor said something that has always stuck in the back of my mind, "Concealed means concealed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the average cost is $20 a year (county sheriffs can set the price and requirements), you can get it for up to 5 years at a time and most counties have it set up so you can apply online, I don't see a reason to not get one if you are a resident of Alabama.

Excellent. The stat for Michigan CPL holders can be found here: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/msp/All_Statuses_Report_647845_7.pdf GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
