With all of the noise about the recent accidental discharge is there anyone interested in forming a monthly "OC Orientation" group? The clubhouse in Fowlerville could be used if so. I don't feel qualified to do a presentation but if anyone wanted to discuss it I think it's an idea whose time has come.

i think it should be used to practice, what happens when a leo stops you and what you should do and say!

i think this needs to be done by all of us,we can read and hear what to say and do,but if we practice it i think by saying it out loud, we will all benefit!

what you think?

I would provide an example of each type of action, revolver and semi auto to use in a classroom setting. It would be nice if someone could come up with some snap caps so no one is actually handling live rounds. We would also need to come up with a format. Perhaps the moderators could help us out there. I would prefer that we don't began demonstrating things "our way" only to open up a big heated debate about whose way is better. Any suggestions?

Our regular meetings are 7:pm saturdays. Those are private for club members only. Any other time and date that works for you is ok by me. The clubhouse is in downtown Fowlerville and is a very clean and pleasant space. pm me for more info and I'll work with you to set it up. Gordon, you're on for this one too and bring Wally with you.

I will provide the space and the visual aids. I do not feel that I should represent mioc as a facilitator. I will assist but not lead...it's not my thing.
