Knifemaker what do you carry? It would be nice if we could get a few others to get together but I don't know many people around the area other than my immediate neighbors and they don't open carry. Perhaps more OCers will chime in. Id like to have a bbq before it gets to cold I have a farm so lots of fresh food and perhaps a roast of lamb or pig if we could get a few guys to come up from traverse city. NMadole what do you carry? I carry a glock 22

I carry a Gen 3 Glock 22 w/ Trijicon Night Sights!! ... but I am throwing around the idea of selling it and getting a Sig P226 or just a Gen 4 Glock 22

Since I have my FFL I can get some pretty sweet deals ... :)

I would come up for a BBQ if I am free

I'm not quite sure why all the up and northern michigan comments came up lol I live 10 miles from the bridge and I've only heard the upper peninsula as the up and where I live is northern mi I dont see an issue calling mackinaw city northern mi while its not the northern most part of michigan it most definitely falls into northern mi. I didn't think yoopers wanted to be lumped into the category of northern mi anyway crap idk lol. Looks like there isn't any open carriers close to my area yet.

This is exactly my feeling on the matter. If you are going to the U.P. then you are going to the U.P., you aren't going up north. "Up north" is the upper half of the lower peninsula, which for me anything north of Mount Pleasant is up north.

I'm actually going up north this weekend. (Sorry U.P. folks, I mean I'm going to Mount Pleasant.) My weekend is going to be the same thing; building a range, building some gun benches, putting up targets, building a pistol tree with hinged targets. We finished most of the work on the cabin a couple years ago, built the deck last year, so now we are looking for new projects. We are shooting more and more on the property, so this makes the most sense.

I usually carry a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44. I live, and work, in the area where four bears attacked a bowhunter. They were never caught... Sometimes I'll carry my 1911, or .38 special for "social situations".

It might be hard to have a get-together in this area. There just aren't that many people. I look forward to seeing you in town sometime.

In the winter, it's usually CC that turns in to OC when I get inside and take off my coat.
