if registration is eliminated, and PP is kept, how would that affect OC? they can't make carrying a registered gun a requirement if there is no registration system, correct?
If Michigan stops issuing a LICENSE to purchase/carry/possess (28.422), those who do not have a CPL open carrying within 1000 ft of a school would be committing a Federal crime. Though there have not been reported cases of this charge being filed alone, we do not find comfort in that enough to advocate people knowingly violate Federal law. Your scenario of keeping PP but ending registration is not on the table...in fact it is what Phil tried to do but was shot down.

(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is LICENSED to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;
