Court Of Claims Blocks Secretary of State's Open Carry At The Polls Ban

 

You can read the decision here: OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING IN PART PLAINTIFFS’ EMERGENCY MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

Good job Michigan Open Carry - who led the charge on this, and  MCO and MCRGO.

The Court concluded the Secretary of State's directive was in fact a rule and its promulgation violated the rule making procedure of the Administrative Procedure Act and issued the injunction banning its enforcement in regards to open carry at the polls.

Dana Nessel, our Democrat Attorney General, has indicated she will appeal the decision, so the matter isn't over yet, but it's a very promising start, and a very well-written opinion.
