Good deal. We have some legislation pending here in Michigan concerning the current law that requires a buyer of a handgun to take a written test and apply for a 10 day permit to purchase (if the buyer don't hold a valid CCW).
Prior to my concealed carry I was a regular at the Sheriff's office. They actually knew my name when I came in. The test is a true/false, completely lame piece of paper with 10 dummy questions, I know I took it soo many times and paid the 5 buck fee so many times as well.
The legislation will eliminate that. However, a CCW holder still can't open carry in Michigan while, interestingly, a non CCW holder can.
In today's political climate, open carry in public can be a recipe for disaster so I lean toward concealed only. Too many 'good citizens' out there ready to call local LE if they see a unconcealed pistol. I certainly would not want the harassment IMO.
