By what can be understood as a technacality (sp?) , MI has an open carry law. Open carry is legal, but if LE wants, they just get you one of a number of possibilities (most common disturbing the peace).

I have opened carried (OWB) a few times using an on the hip Uncle Mike's sidekick holster when in the (mid) Northern (but not upper) part of MI. Normally I was out in the woods (I always carry out in woods) and went to lunch, maybe dinner, or filled up the truck / jeep with gas.

So maybe once or twice a year I open carry for in an extended period in a town. As a CCW holder you get into a possible bind of brandishing when you open carry. I have not confirmed this, but what a LE customer told me. However that LE is from SE MI, where open carry happens very very rarely.
