I'm a student at WMU!

If you're interested in open carry, check out the threads that are stickied at the top of this forum. You can learn all about how to stay out of trouble with the law by getting familiar with where you can and cannot legally OC. This can be found in the OC Information thread here:

http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum30/13328.html

Also memorize the "Wash, Rinse, Repeat" thread, found here:

http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum30/17262.html

To correct your terminology, CCW is the felony that one would receive for carrying a concealed weapon. The license to carry concealed is a Concealed Pistol License (CPL), which prevents you from getting a CCW charge. Many people here are real sticklers on that, so I thought I'd let you know. :)

Welcome to the forum! There's a ton of knowledge to be had from the people here - it's truly a great resource. I hope you stick around to learn and discuss OC and other topics with us!

Yea that CCW / CPL thing is funny because

when i got my CPL the folder said CPL but EVERYONE calls it a CCW in the police office and in the classes if i remember right. Its one of thos things where legally both words are separate but to some people they mean the same thing.

Thats why i dont like seeing people get really mad over it, because that was what i was told when i got my cpl.. how was i supposed to know? lol

thats my $.02

Camaro Boy (and EM87 for that matter),

I'm the State Director for the Group Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. We work to pass laws that will allow students the right to defend themselves on college campuses. It was in that capacity that I testified at the Senate hearing for SB747, to remove college dorms and classrooms from pistol free zones.

In our organization, we have chapters at each school. However, our WMU chapter is inactive and we've never had one at SVSU. Would either of you guys be interested in becoming a Campus Leader there?

If so, PM me or simply apply here: http://concealedcampus.org/campusleaders.php
