Threads like this have tried and failed in the past because of an unfounded fear of prosecution. I was trying to point out the obvious.

Nice, I need to make it over there finally some day since it is so close and I have heard good things about their food.

Well, yes the food is VERY good, but the price might kill you if you have a heart condition! I have been lucky enough to be the Double D, since I generally will refuse to leave "it" at home.:rolleyes: DD's get free coke to drink!:banana:

My panties aren't in a bunch, I really don't care. This isn't about Will, it's about you. How about posting the audio, so we can hear what actually went down. What I want to know, is what you said, that got you singled out like that?

No...threads like this have failed because they are counterproductive. If a place does not have a sign saying "NO FIREARMS", then I carry as I please...OC if I like, CC if I like and not legally prohibited.

The problem with an "OC Unfriendly Thread", a "Friend or Foe" website, or other attempts at stating whether a particular venue allows carry is that the prohibition regarding carry may be misinterpreted: ie, maybe YOU can't carry but everyone else can; Maybe "Manager A" has issues with firearms but "Manager B" does not.
Without appropriate signage or an official letter from the owner, who really knows.

Back in the day (lol) if those of us who were open carrying before people generally knew it was legal followed some anonymous person's opinion whether a particular venue allowed carry, we wouldn't be where we are today. How many of us have carried with no problems in businesses that someone here thought prohibited firearms? Conversely, how many of us have been told we can't OC at places which others have extolled as being very supportive of OC? Personally, I have experienced both situations.

Why don't we just carry and report the experiences in a factual manner, good or bad? By letting the OC experiences speak for themselves, we can avoid all of this bickering about who said what to whom on any particular day.

Williams Gun Sight and Range, located in Davison, MI does not allow open carry. I was up there today to buy some ammunition, and use the range. They do not have any form of a sign posted that says you can not open carry. While using the range and speaking with the range officer, he informed me that the owner wants to keep it a family friendly place so if you open carry you will be asked to conceal it or be asked to leave. The same range officer told me he did not agree with the policy.
