Face Masks While Carrying
The most recent Stay Home Executive Order 2020-59 [[link removed]]
says, "Any individual able to medically tolerate a face covering must wear a covering
over his or her nose and mouth-such as a homemade mask, scarf, bandana, or handkerchief-when
in any enclosed public space." This has led to questions about the legality of wearing
a face mask while legally carrying a firearm in public.
Michigan Complied Laws 750.396 [[link removed]]
says, "A person who intentionally conceals his or her identity by wearing a mask
or other device covering his or her face for the purpose of facilitating the commission
of a crime is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than
93 days or a fine of not more than $500.00, or both."
Consequently, a person legally carrying a firearm while wearing a face mask who
is not facilitating the commission of a crime is not subject to the legal penalties
for wearing a face mask. Note the executive order does not provide for penalties
for not wearing a face mask although businesses may refuse to serve customers without
one.

Support the MCRGO Legal Foundation
The MCRGO Legal Foundation is a separate organization from MCRGO and is overseen
by a board of attorneys. The reason for the separation is partly due to the 501(c)(4)
lobbying/advocacy work of MCRGO as well as to insulate legal activities from politics.
Consequently, the MCRGO Legal Foundation does not receive funding from MCRGO membership
dues. It relies on voluntary contributions.
The MCRGO Legal Foundation protects firearms rights in Michigan. In recent years,
this has included the defense of preemption as well as advocacy on behalf of shooting
ranges. You can help in the effort by donating online HERE [[link removed]].
Please select the Firearms Legal Defense Fund as the area for your donation. Any
amount helps!
Unlike MCRGO, the MCRGO Legal Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization which allows
for tax deductions for donations. You will be automatically e-mailed a confirmation
of a donation for tax purposes immediately after donating online. Note that during
Stay Home, there will be a delay in processing mailed donations. Online donations
are strongly encouraged over donations sent in by mail.
