ANYWHERE since Open Carry IS legal. Try a fast food joint, gas station, party store, Walmart, Meijers etc etc etcwhere in Dearborn Heights is a good spot to open carry for the 1st time
I don't know the area, but I think a Walmart or a Meijer would be the easiest place. I've never been questioned (by employees) in either. In fact, if you read the lapeer outing thread, you'll see that it appears that a manager in the Davison meijer rightfully did nothing when another customer complained about us. I think these types of places are better if you're not all that confident yet. A fast food restaurant or a gas station (if you go in) usually involves much more close up interaction with people.where in Dearborn Heights is a good spot to open carry for the 1st time
This is a great exercise that everyone should be doing.Ok, lets say I'm a cop and I see you OC'ing.
I say hello, are you a LEO?
I ask do you have a CPL?
Where are you headed?
Where are you coming from?
Please respond as you should and as you have learned by studying for the last 6-7 weeks.

I'm thinking very likely B.Hold on... If said member is being charged with a felony he either:
A) Broke the law in ignorance
or
B) Did not break the law and the charges will be dropped shortly.
How well thought-out your response to an LEO or non-LEO is irrelevant to the facts of the situation. If I am missing something please fill me in (or PM).

Your first OC experience should be at the Michigan Open Carry Thread and most importantly, a couple of our OC events.where in Dearborn Heights is a good spot to open carry for the 1st time
Bingo.I know for a fact it can have a big impact in how things progress, but if you are carrying legally and mouth off to a cop there is nothing that they can do (legally) when all is said and done. I recommend being polite and professional, but also assertive. I know I am not breaking the law, and will not be told that I am. He can arrest me and get me a nice cash settlement, but that's his problem. I have the grit to stick it out.

It's not always that simple. If one keeps one's mouth shut, then it might be "Bingo", but that depends upon many factors.Rob Washeleski wrote:Bingo.I know for a fact it can have a big impact in how things progress, but if you are carrying legally and mouth off to a cop there is nothing that they can do (legally) when all is said and done.
