In regards to restroom facilities, I would agree with the Lake Park. However, due to the issues with the Mayor & Chief I think the Memorial Park would be best. Especially, when you consider that the only public restrooms availablenearst the parkare the ones in the Burton PD building.:)

There is a gas station/McDonald's at the intersection of Bristol Road & Center Road. It's about a half-mile north of the park.

It is not illegal to CC (CPL required of course) or OC into a Police Station or Sheriff's Department in Michigan, only in the "secured areas" of the buildings.

Edit for spelling.

We will plan a lunch get together at one of the parks. I'm pushing for the Lake as it has better facilities, but that's not to say we can't make a visit and pay our respect to the veterans at the memorial.

Lake Park has a nice pond for the kids/adults to fish so bring the gear if you like. I don't think the park allows swimming, even though, the pond appears to be very clean.

According to the lady at the city office, swimming is allowed, but at your own risk (no life guard). Looking at an aerial photo I don't see a good spot to swim. But the photo is a few years old and improvements may have taken place.

Thanks, and I now have exactly that--- THE FACTS---

Thanks to Venators efforts and another talk with my son, here is how it works out---

1. Mayor had nothing to do with it.

2. Chief did question Rob at Rocky's

3. This is the kicker--- the Chief was only trying to verify that we had permission to be at Rocky's carrying firearms. ROB TOLD HIM, NO, HE NEVER GAVE HIS PERMISSION.

ROB IS A DAMN LYING CHICKEN SH!T BAST**D!!!

Steve told me the conversation he had with Rob when he was laying out what vendors were going to be at the car show, INCLUDING OCDO-- Rob told Steve he didn't care who was there, that was outside, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT----

Unfortunately for Rob, my producer, Steve Myers was AT THAT MEETING and was witness to this conversation!!!

Therefore--- Rob can boil his lips and kiss my ass!!

I deeply apologize to the forum for the language and all the hassle, inconvience, and BULL. But I hate a liar worse than a thief.

Also I apologize to the Mayor of Burton and the Burton Chief of police if I offended them in any way. I was merely trying to get the facts and resolve this issue as calmly as possible.

Myself, I think it safe to say, Rocky's won't have to worry about counting any of my money-- ever!

Thanks to the forum for you understanding and support.

Jerry Brewer, Steve Brewer

Do you know of the legal section and/or court cases backing this up? GRPD has a big sign right at the entrance saying no guns allowed except locked and cased.

Furner, why wouldn't they? They're convinced OC and possibly CC is illegal per their ordinances. Also, entering a posted building/business/etc.-CC or OC-technically, your statis is that of a tresspasser. Please review several pages here on the Michigan forum and many of your questions/concerns will be answered.

If the building is owned by the local government that sign is illegal, that can't restrict guns in public buildings and any ordinance is illegal. The one excuse used is if the building has a courtroom in it, they say the whole area is banned, Lansing PD does this, its wrong, but nobody is fighting it. But if the station is not connected to a court then ask them to take the sign down and cite the preemption law of 1990.
