Hmmmm?.....This might get interesting? It would be under a Constitutional carry law (2nd Amendment) that eight States already enjoy.

8 STATES WITH CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY
(in chronological order):

Vermont has had Constitutional Carry since the nation's founding in 1791 --
they never enacted any law banning the right to discreetly bear arms.

Montana enacted Constitutional Carry in 1991, for all areas
outside city limits (99.4% of the state), and is working on the rest.

Alaska enacted Constitutional Carry in 2003.

Texas enacted Constitutional Carry "light" in 2007
as the "Motorist Protection Act," freeing people to carry in their vehicles,
and to and from their vehicles and their homes, land or business.

Arizona got full Constitutional Carry in 2010,
and the sky has not fallen, despite desperate fears to the contrary.

Wyoming enacted Constitutional Carry for residents in 2011.

Arkansas passed HB1700 (Act 746) on August 16, 2013 to get Constitutional Carry.

Kansas pushed Constitutional Carry through with widespread support in 2015.

HOUSE BILL No. 5301

February 2, 2016, Introduced by Reps. Chatfiel , Runestad, Johnson, Aaron Miller, Hooker, Cole, Glenn and Kelly and referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

A bill to amend 1931 PA 328, entitled "The Michigan penal code,"

by amending sections 227, 227b, 230, and 237a (MCL 750.227, 750.227b, 750.230, and 750.237a), section 227 as amended by 1986 PA 8 and sections 227b and 237a as amended by 2015 PA 26; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

Sec. 227. (1) A person shall not carry a dagger, dirk, stiletto, a double-edged non folding stabbing instrument of any length, or any other dangerous weapon OTHER THAN A PISTOL, except a hunting knife adapted and carried as such, concealed on or about his or her person, or whether concealed or otherwise in any vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, IN HIS OR HER place of business, or on other land possessed by the person.

In 2016 all of the Michigan House of Representatives are up for re-election. Republicans need to show their 2d Amendment cred to avoid primary challenges. They can do so by sponsoring bills like this. Unless this gets picked up by the State Senate, don't expect this to go anywhere.

POSSESSING A FIREARM shall not carry a pistol concealed on or about


his or her person, or, whether concealed or otherwise, in a vehicle


operated or occupied by the person. ,(Removed)............. except in his or her dwelling


house, place of business, or on other land possessed by the person,


without a license to carry the pistol as provided by law and if


licensed, shall not carry the pistol in a place or manner


inconsistent with any restrictions upon such license.........(Removed)

I'm not sure if I understand your point? That is the law now. Even if the law passed? I wouldn't want someone (a criminal) to be able to anyway.
