I was discussing with a colleague how OC is legal in the state and the conversation veered into PFZ’s.
He said he and a friend of his walked into a DPD precinct (he didn’t say which one) to conduct some business and his friend was CCing and the police arrested him. As I understand it, his friend possessed a valid CPL and had no outstanding warrants. He said his friend was sorta bragging about how he had his gun on him and was subsequently arrested. At worst, he could or shouldhave been cited for failure to disclose depending on who he was talking to and how the conversation unfolded, but not arrested.My colleague on the other hand had the foresight to leave his weapon in his vehicle so the police didn’t bother him although they did ask him several times if he had his weapon on his person‘s. I asked my colleague several times what did they charge his friend with and he couldn’t say or recall. He said the desk sergeant made the comment of: "We already have enough guns in here, we don’t need anymore."
I’ve read a handful of other posts from other members who have OCed inside other police precincts without incident so I know it’s legal. I also know that MCL statues are clear on what are designated PFZ’s and CC free zones so that isn’t my question. I want to know how is it possible that the DPD can arbitrarily and unofficially designate their precincts PFZ’s and arrest citizens if they were to walk inside legally OCing and or CCing and get away with it?
While I don’t know if the aforementioned story is true or not but I do understand the territorial culture of the DPD and thus the story sounds rather plausible.
