Michigan CPL Class FAQ: Can I Carry A Handgun In A City Park At A Midget League Baseball Game?

Ask The Michigan Firearms Instructor
Q: Hi Rick, I have a carry question. My son plays Jr. Midget Baseball; they play at local parks. Would this be considered a non carry sporting event? I apologize if you have covered this already and I missed it. I try to watch your posts closely I have learned a lot that I was missing before joining your page. Thank you.

A: A local municipal park would not be defined as a gun free zone in the state of Michigan (See both MCL 750.234d and MCL 28.425o).

However, if the local park was part of a public school, then the CPL-holder could legally open carry via exemption granted by MCL 750.234d.

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
