...and they begin to come out of the woodwork...
Welcome to OCDO, MrEarp. I had monitored the forum since May'08 before registering in October. You and the few others who have joined recently indicate I was not the only west Michigan "lurker" out there. Thanks for registering and participating in the discussion.
I was hesitant in part due to the high level of bravado shown by some forum members. I have learned that Michiganders are Michiganders (with no particular reference to Michigander
), and the forum members I was hesitant to engage don't even visit the Michigan threads. The demeanor shown on the Michigan threads is pretty much what I expect to encounter face-to-face throughout our great state.
The Michigan threads does not lack anything in strength of belief or inenthusiasm for the cause. However, we seem to attract people who are very interested in discussing our challenges and in offering solutions. I would encourage the other "lurkers" who happen to read this post to register and join the discussion. It would really help us to see how many others are interested in the issues surrounding open carry and 2A rights.
