Michigan Open Carry will be conducting a public demonstration of every day open carriers. That’s right, a public demonstration.

We will be meeting at the Romulus City Hall and marching through Downtown Romulus to the Police Department on Olive Street and returning to the starting point at City Hall. A round trip of about 2 miles.

Our goal is to demonstrate to the public what the typical open carrier is like. And, to show that there is nothing to be concerned about.

If you’ve ever wanted to attend a Michigan Open Carry Event, this is the one. Come out and support our Michigan Constitutional right to keep and bear arms for the protection of ourselves and our loved ones.

What to bring: A piece of poster board. We will be making stencils out of 22” x 28” poster board. Please bring a piece of white or bright colored poster this size, or slightly larger. We’ll use our stencils and spray paint to instantly make a rally sign for you. Poster board is readily available at Meijer or your local office supply store.

When: Sunday April 27th

Where: Romulus City Hall
11111 Wayne Rd
Romulus, MI

Map: http://mapq.st/1hAxc6V

1:00pm - Gather at the Romulus City Hall
1:30pm - Begin March through Downtown Romulus openly carrying holstered handguns and displaying our signs supporting our Michigan Constitutional rights.

We look forward to having you and your friends participate in this very important demonstration to the public that Open Carry of a handgun in Michigan is legal. And show what it’s like to see ordinary people like us Open Carrying our handguns.

For more information email: SERegion@MIOpenCarry.org

PS - most dollar tree stores also have poster board too, if you don't have a office supply or Meijer stores near you.

Hoping we get a good turn out. A lot of time went into this event, probably more than most realize.

Talked with the city clerk, seems a city appointed commission runs the Museum. Anyone interested in taking in the museum while in Romulus?

A video reminder of why this protest is happening... last I checked OCing is legal and so is knowing your rights!

"You want an education?"

^^^This! The officer was very clearly giving a lesson in OE (opinion enforcement); black man with a legal gun, and one who knows his rights? Well we'll just see about that - so officer "above the law" decides to show the legal OCer the corrupt side of LE! Sad part is multiple officers on seen and not one of them lifts a finger or says a word to question what the "false arrest" officer is doing! With cops like that, no wonder their last police chief and 5 of the top detectives went to jail for stealing drug money and spending it on booze / hookers and a tanning salon to launder more money through. This department has a lot of moral rejects in it's ranks. Hopefully their Mayor & council force their chief to get off his @$$ and do something about this type of criminal conduct by sworn officers of the law. Every damn one of those cops knows better! They are trained by mandate via MCOLES that open carry is legal. You cannot become a police officer in MI without passing the MCOLES test. So this bullcrap that they just don't know about OC is exactly that, BULLCRAP!

/rant

GO give them hell!

Speaking of hell - I am mad as hell over this false arrest and the many like it that MI cops keep committing! You should be too! Why? Because next time it could be you! Where does it stop? Next thing- they don't like people who ask questions, so off to jail for that! Or they don't like people who drive red cars, so off to jail for that! Don't like people who _____ (fill in the blank), so it's off to jail for that! BULL!
