BELLE ISLE PICNIC - DATE

Thanks, will have to clear it with the wife first before I commit, also not sure if I want to carry, only because My gun is an S&W .357 and it tends to be on the heavy side to the point of pulling down your pants if your not carefull. And just to help make things more clear on my screen name, pmcqueen = Pat McQueen 37 was my age 10 years ago.

My only concern, would be the transportation from home to the site, since this is not a range, gun store, police station etc., there is the possibility of the Detroit cops deciding that they want to press the transportation issue, any opinion on that subject ?

I have in the past , dealt with police, who have, although I was not in the wrong, chosen to detain, question, harrass etc., then was forced to deal with the issue in the court sytems, with a lawyer and so on, although it was not firearm related, I still can see the same recipe for abuse, similiar to the people of New Orleans with the gun confiscation following hurricane Katrina. Does this sound paranoid. Also this concern is with the Detroit PD. only, I would not have an issue with some of the other OC venues, such as Ann Arbor, Warren and so on.

The transportation law uses the word "includes" and then gives a list. It is the opinion of myself, MANY people on this site and Sgt Deasy from MSP in Lansing, the "list" included in the description is NOT...i repeat NOT...an ALL inclusive list. STILL if you would rather be safe than sorry, you can meet me somewhere close to the event and i can transport for you

disclaimer: I am NOT a lawyer, nor did i stay at an over advertised cheesy hotel chain last night.

Has any one considered posting flyers at your local gun club / range /stores, on their bulliten boards, for these outings, seems to Me that this would be an easy way to get theword out. Jusy My .02 $

Got the Ok from the wife, so i'll be there around noon, I have a family get together at 3:30 so i'll have to leave by 3, but that leaves Me 3 hours, I notice all the areas of stuff to bring are already filled up, any suggestions, also My 80 year old neighbor and His brother in law plan on stopping by as well, not sure for how long tho.. I'll also bring my camera, can never have to many pics.

P.S. I was thinking possibly bratwurst and buns, I noticed they weren't listed.
