I'm sorry gentlemen but the open carry at Rocky's has been recinded by the owner: Rob Fischer. I just got a call from my son who was called to meet Rob this a.m. to tell him the open carry was not going to be allowed. Apparently the Burton police chief had a meeting with mayor Smiley and in turn the chief had a meeting with Rob. My son was not told what was said but I think we can all guess. Rob only said he didn't need that kind of trouble at his business and for us not to set up a booth or carry in the open. We are welcome to the car show(DUH) But no open carry. I have told my son I would not be there out of respect for his car show, since Rob suggested that if anything goes down the car show would not be allowed back.They must have intimidated Rob pretty well with whatever threats. So, I would ask that no one go to the car show with the intent ofOCing just to make a point. By all means go to the show 'cause there are some awesome cars but please don't put my son's shows at risk to enforce your rights. I will be very gratefull.
As a footnote: apparently someone has talked to the policechief, he made the comment that he had been monitoring the posts on OCDO and my radio show. He didn't seem to like the attention it was getting and decided to squash it. So we may have a mole in the wood pile or this is a time when the notification to overt a problemsupplied theammo to start one.
My son and myselfsincerely apologize for this mess, but it was out of left field for us also.
