Q: Are there any laws that prevent me from legally carrying my handgun with a CPL on my boat?
Legally armed boaters (with CPLs) have to obey the laws on the waterways as if they were on the road - no drinking, law enforcement notification, and etc. He also suggested that I contact the Michigan DNR for any additional state laws.
So, I called the Law Enforcement Division of the DNR in Lansing (517-373-1230) and spoke with a Conservation Officer - Tammy Pullen. She confirmed the info I received from the US Coast Guard. In any case, you are invited to do your research.
Disclaimer
You are strongly encouraged to not only conduct your own independent research but to also consult with a competent and qualified attorney before acting upon any information in this article. Laws covering self-defense, lethal force, firearms, and the Michigan Concealed Pistol License and their enforcement are always subject to change due to laws being amended, politics conducted in the Prosecutor's Office, and election results at all levels of government. Ignorance of the law, legally speaking, is not a valid excuse for running afoul of it. The penalties and fines imposed upon violators of firearms related offenses are stiff and severe.
