I agree with you. Unfortunately, even tho Michigan has open carry, you
can't have a loaded gun /in your car/ without a conceal carry permit.
Open carry doesn't apply in a vehicle. (stupid politicians)

I think if I lived in Detroit I would get a permit just so I could keep
a .44 Special in the glovebox or under the seat.
