Transcript of attached screenshot from MOC's Facebook page:
I believe it is generally accepted by OC advocates, and reflected in the language of most OC organizations "mission statements" or "goals" (including this website and MOC's), that open carry exercise and gatherings are for the purpose of gaining acceptance of open carry by the public and authorities.
The comments above seem to suggest that MOC consider using open carry gatherings in PFZs, not to gain public or authorities acceptance of OC in PFZ's, but to drive the public or authorities to be attracted to SB 59's ban on OC in PFZs, thus "SB 59 will look more appealing." Phil, President of MOC, seems to agree and states that he's already mentioned that use of open carry gatherings in PFZ's to Jase Bolger, a Michigan politician.
Phil/MOC, would you please clarify this exchange?
Jared A. Coyne: "Perhaps MOC should have some open carry gatherings in pistol free zones. This way SB 59 will look more appealing."

Phillip Hofmeister: "Jared A. Coyne: Funny, before I saw you post this, I have passed that in the back channel I have to Jase Bolger. "
