I grew up in Michigan and always planned to return but 30 years later when I look at Michigan it is not a good bet. I know that even in the 70's, in southwestern MI, jobs were becoming difficult to get and now, after talking to my brother and looking at things for "self-defense", I see that so little is allowed in MI now. I am wondering what to heck happened as I saw several "self-defense" items as we chose ours from online not being allowed to be shipped to MI. I would have thought that Michigan would have been one of the last to relinquish "freedoms".

Michigan has outlawed certain things from being shipped to you, not necessarily from being purchased. This is because they want them to be sold by a licensed dealer. There are Michigan formulae for pepper spray that can be purchased at several self defense shops.

It is amusing to me that you cannot get expandable batons but we are a "shall issue" CCW state.

What items are you looking for?

Michigan is still an "open carry" state.

Carry your gun openly and you don't have to worry to much about self defense
