I just received this from Dave STevens in Barry County MI and thought I'd pass it on.
I'll be there with a good attitude and a S&W in 40 caliber.
Hope to see others from this forum there as well.

God bless

[align=center]Press Release – For Immediate Distribution[/align]
In response to the Police Chief of Hastings, Chief Sarver, law-abiding
citizens will be walking down Main Street in Hastings open carrying.
Chief Sarver in response to a letter to the editor responded by saying it was
brandishing, a misdemeanor. He failed to say that the Michigan Attorney
General’s office wrote him telling him that open carry is not against the law. We are asking anyone who is interested in furthering their Second
Amendment rights to join us on Thursday, July 24th at 4 PM. We will be
meeting at Richie's Coffee Shop (146 W. State Street, Hastings, MI 49058).
An attorney that supports your right to keep and bear arms will be joining us.

It is important to note that this is a peaceful demonstration of our constitutional rights and everyone must be on their best behavior. All well mannered, law-abiding citizens are welcome to join us. Please RSVP if you can. Please do not dress like a paramilitary organization. Wear ordinary clothing that fits in well with the general public.

If you have any questions you can contact me at dstevens@iserv.net.

I would LOVE to attend. It is almost a 3 hour trip each way for me. After the fuel bill that came with the 6 hour round trip for the Grand Rapids meet, i just simply cannot attend. UNLESS some want to carpool.....

SO if anyone plans on going, and wants to carpool hit me up.

I hear ya, not sure how Doug can do it so cheap, but GR was a $70 fuel trip for me buying the low grade stuff.

EACH WAY!

274.6miles / 27MPG = 10.17 gallons

10.17 gallons X around $4.00 per gallon = $40.68 in gas

And 4 hours and 6 min's drive time :)


Total.

~~~~Simple math~~~~

If I keep my foot out of the gas I can get better mileage though

Sorry, posted this on another thread earlier. There's a duplicate.

I've a change in plans, and right now things are kind of "up in the air".

If anyone is going down to this and would like to have a rider along who is willing to share gas money, let me know.

Just got back. Pleasure finally meeting Venator and dougwg. Someone said that there were about 40 people showed up, and I'd say that is about right. I had the opportunity to talk to one of the main guys there, and I asked him if there was any local group, or org (noticing the good turnout on short notice). He said there wasn't really anything organized, but that people learned of it through word of mouth and the net. He also added that Barry County is a very strong gun community.

I think most of those people had never even heard of us before this week. That's changed.

Thanks.

I've been googling it with no luck.

IIRC, there's a video embedded? I was going to add this comment in my last post but my computer hiccuped.

Yep, I saw it.
