Here you go...
OpenCarry.org - A Right Unexercised is a Right Lost! This gives you pretty accurate info, but always check the state laws on the i-Net prior to travel to a particular state...or ask about individual states on this forum.

Michigan's an open carry state. I don't suggest you attempt it in any of the more populated/liberal areas though (Detroit, GR, Lansing, ect...). Unless you enjoy being face flat on a hard surface...

Many of us open carry in SE MI all the time without any problems. " face flat on a hard surface" ? You have grounds for a complaint or law suit. |

TENNESSEE VIRGINIA ARIZONA KENTUCKY NEW MEXICO W. VIRGINIA INDIANA ID/MT/WY All true open carry states. MASS is an OC state by strict definition. Not at all in practice. I believe the same may be true of CA. So take the remark of there being 42 OC states with caution. What is not prohibited by state statute and what is culturally acceptable are two entirely different things. Also look out for the states that don't have preemption, like neighboring AL for me. One minute you may be okay to open carry and the next you may be subject to arrest as rules change by county.

I'm with Moga . . . even though it is listed as an "open carry" state many are not.

Arizona is open carry. No permit needed to own and/or open carry. Shall-issue permits are available for concealed carry, and Arizona accepts the CCW permits of several other states.
