Are the laws the same while on your boat in Michigan as they are in a vehicle when it comes to concealed carry?

Basically yes, I believe.

Of course, if stopped immediately tell the copper that you're packing, where the gun is and ask how he/she wants to go ahead with things. It looks like you probably boat the west side of the state, so you shouldn't have to worry about straying across into that great Criminal Empowerment Zone called Canada!

Cheers!

Yes in Michigan, No Canada or Illinois

If the idiots in government "up here" had there way they would ban butter knives, concealed weapons would probably get you serious jail time, of course rapists and killers get probation in our "enlightened" system )-:

Amen to that!

Hope you didn't take offense to the Criminal Empowerment Zone remark; I call any pistol free zone that!

Cheers, and have a great boating season.

No offense WHATSOEVER!! (-:

Have a great season as well!

Being Canadian I don't get it. Yes they're over the top up here with weapons. But excuse my ignorance, unless you're being hunted down by a biker gang (lol) why do you need to be packin? Seen a pic. at a Starbucks where they were "packin", think I'd turn around and walk out. No I'm not a left wing nut, just don't understand. To each their own I say.

Our constitution says we have the right to bear arms. If this girl had been packing, most likely she wouldn't have been raped, and the guy would be dead and gone instead of being on the loose as a rapist predator. She was "hunted down" as you put it.

Well my apologies, I didn't read read all 7 pages, I didn't realize a woman was raped. I can certainly see the reason here. Again my apologies, hope she is OK, and they catch the scumbag.

As an honest hardworking, tax paying citizen I will protect myself and my family no matter what it takes. I'm not going to let some piece of sh!t harm them in any way. There are way too many weirdos in our society now days.
