The leadership of Michigan Open Carry, Inc. is organizing a rally in Monroe Michigan (Home town of Randy Richardville, Michigan State Senate Majority Leader) to protest the lack of movement on SB-59, a bill that would allow anyone with a CPL to get an exemption from Michigan's Concealed Gun Free Zones (this would also "legitimize" the "Open carry in a PFZ" loophole).
Before our previous rally, Senator Randy Richardville called Michigan Open Carry, Inc. president, Phillip Hofmeister, to discuss the bill. Richardville said in that conversation "I'll talk to the speaker [of the House] to see if we can get it on the agenda in September." Well, we're holding this rally for one of two reasons:
1. To hold his feet to the fire, if it doesn't get passed out of the Senate by Sept. 30.
2. To thank him (maybe offer him a guest speaking role at the event) if the bill has passed out of the Senate.
