Does anyone know if a CPL holder can carry concealed should martial law be declared? I live in Michigan, don't know if laws on this vary by state.
 
My assumption about martial law, is that the government will tell you what you can and cannot do, once they declare it.
 
Generally speaking, martial law is what you have when there is a *suspension* of civil law, civil rights and habeus corpus. There is case law on the subject - the Possee Comitas act comes to mind. The distinction to make is when the courts cannot function. Where I practice, we have temporarily suspended in-person matters, but much can be accomplished by video for incarcerated persons and we can still file lawsuits, motions, etc. So we are a long way from the courts not functioning.
 
This went off the rails awfully quickly. If you're wondering what I mean, please be advised that the posts dragging this thread down are now gone. It looked like folks were running out of worhtwhile things to say.

But if anyone has more serious, verifiable, credible, legal information responsive to the OP"s question, please let me know by private message. If it looks like there some real life useful information out there I'll re-open the thread.
