The difference is open and concealed. Concealed, yes, always. But open carry, why? I'm not opposed to it per say, and could see doing so if I were to go to the school and present on gun safety, but otherwise, I think this is more of a political, in-your-face statement, than anything else. Concealed carry by anyone lawfully allowed to should be allowed, always and anywhere. Where there are places restricting it, they should be required to provide onsite security and appropriate check-in and storage of those weapons.

A bit off topic, but last week the Reno Aces baseball park banned and wands people from taking guns into the park. Fine, but doesn't address outside the part. The park should have means for people to go to the park securely, then check in and store the gun while there, so long as there is onsite security. But, since the park does not provide security outside the park, to and from it, they need to allow and provide for that. Else, provide secure parking lot so that visitors can store gun in car and never be outside their own or the park's immediate, live protection.

Because in Michigan if you have a cpl you can legally open carry in a school but not conceal carry

I agree. Open carry is a bit much in my view. Yes, technically is should be legal but in most situations it’s kinda of vulgar. It just freaks people out. Conceal fine but open carry just tends to be unnecessarily disruptive.

“But open carry, why?”

Because it’s a Constitutionally guaranteed Civil Right. That’s why.

“I think this is more of a political, in-your-face statement, than anything else.”

You’re damned right it is. If you’re too squeamish to fight just say so. Then sit the **** down, shut the **** up, and let better men and women than you carry your load.
