LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- A group that supports allowing gun owners to carry concealed guns without permits anywhere they choose is planning a gun-carrying rally outside the state Capitol.

Saturday's event aims to encourage Michigan to join a handful of other "constitutional carry" states where laws generally do not restrict how or where a gun is carried or require a concealed weapon license.

Vermont, Alaska, Arizona and Wyoming have similar laws.

The Citizens League for Self Defense, which is organizing the rally, says it wants Michigan to become the nation's fifth "constitutional carry" state.
