Hello Everyone,
My name is Jeff and as you may have guessed, I am a brand new member here, lol. I live in Redford, over near Thurston High School with my wife and 3 kids. My wife and I have both owned various long-guns for many years, but due to some recent events we have just recently purchased our first handguns. I am sure many more purchases will be made in the future as we both really enjoy the weapons we purchased. She has a S&W JFrame 642 .38 Special, and I have a Glock 19 9mm.
Next weekend we get to take our CPL classes, and from there it is just a matter of a waiting game. Hopefully it is as quick as it was with my brother-in-law, 6 weeks.... but I know to expect 6 months.
Until then, I have slowly been getting my feet wet with open-carrying. At first I only carried inside the house to get used to the idea in general. Then I ventured outside for cookouts, mowing the lawn, etc just in my own yard. Tonight I took my youngest son for a walk and I open-carried on our walk... that was very strange, as I am still getting used to the idea that I am open-carrying a firearm.
In my mass google-ing, I stumbled upon this rather informational forum and after about 2 hours of reading articles I registered. I look forward to sharing my experiences here, probably asking a bunch of questions from time to time, and just getting involved with the conversations.
First question... are there any upcoming open-carry events in the Redford / Dearborn / Taylor etc areas. (I will be looking through the threads to find out for myself, but any heads up is welcomed)
