Michigan has an open carry law, which means that an individual can possess and carry both pistols and long guns in plain view without a concealed pistol license as long as they are not brandishing the weapon. Few people openly carry pistols or long guns, however, many want to to be able to carry a pistol in a way that is concealed for their own safety as well as for the safety of others.

It is unlawful to discharge a firearm at any time where in doing so, someone places another person or themselves in danger. There are also laws that specifically preclude some kinds of firearm discharge.

Patrick Barone is the ONLY choice for DUI defense. He was realistic from the start and made it a point to look at my case before taking my money. As a business owner, when I think of attorneys, I think of the "shark infested waters. Patrick is a shark alright, but his prey is not the client; it's justice for his client. Ten stars Patrick!!

Attorney Patrick Barone was very helpful and helped me understand the charge and sentence absolutely clearly. He also guided me through step by step helping me form a statement. His instructions were clear and detailed. It was obvious he cared about me understanding every important detail within my case. I would absolutely recommend this defense firm to anyone in need.

The Barone Defense Firm is the firm I recommend. They are truly concerned about the person, not just the legal issue, but the person as well. They are the most knowledgeable defense firm that I am aware of, having actually written the book on DWI Defense. If you are faced with a DWI you will not find a more professional and skilled law firm. But, most importantly, they care about how the accused individual recovers his or her life when the case is complete. Very remarkable group of lawyers. William H.
