In a way, that's good to hear. It's nice to know that it isn't only the active members on this forum that are OCing in Michigan.
Wouldn't it be nice if MOC forum participants were less than 10% of open carriers. Nice, but unlikely...

I would NOT call that unlikely.

Michigan will eventually be a state at that 10% mark or so if we keep it up. All it will take is time and dedication, and we can have the non OCDO members that OC bumping into us, stores putting signs on the entrance that say no weapons, cops that smile and wave when they see us, and maybe even eventually our cause will gain enough strength to influence Michigan law into being modified to where it doesn't violate the second amendment!

Hard work, dedication, and a bit of courage almost always pay off.

I am very adament about always saying to people here to arrange as many meet ups as possible. It's how we gain strength. So I'll say it again, ARRANGE MEETINGS! I don't care if it's you and 1 or 2 other people, make as many small meet ups as possible, and cover as much ground as possible in your area. Bring friends who don't OC with you and try to get them to join the cause. To put it simply, we get as much back as we put in. So keep up the good work, and it might very well happen before you know it.
